R.I.P Mother. I miss you more as the days go by. My depression has worse because I don't have you anymore. I can't come see you nor call you anymore. You were my only parent and I need you now more than ever. I'm so lost. Your child is in pain and Im empty inside. But the god that I serve and the god that raised me to believe in. The bible says that weeping may endure for the night but joy comes in the morning. Thank you for always taking me to church and Sunday school. If you didn't give me anything else you gave me Jesus. Til we meet again. I'm going to keep your memory alive. I'm going to give you the grandchild that you asked me to have while you were here. If it's a boy I'm going to name Charles Albert Welch and if its a girl I'm going to name her Sylvia Marie Welch
