Fifteen years ago, I lost my love Kak, but not a day goes by without remembering your kindness, smile, love, hugs and support. I miss you so dearly. You were my life and I had to learn how to go on without you. It´s hard to believe I´m still here while you´re not. I still talk to you and ask for your guidance....

Mom, I can't tell you how much I miss you. Every day is a challenge without you. I still try to call you when I need something or need your guidance. Living and reliving our memories, happy times, music, family, laughter and gatherings, staying up all night long. Miss our long trips, the all day drives to absolutely nowhere specific, listening to our favorite music, I still hear your soft clapping, hearing you tell us the childhood memories, discovering new places, getting stuck in the snow and mud, and laughing about it. I truly miss you my sweet, beautiful mom, wish you were here.
Love you always and forever!

Momma, I miss you so much. I wish you were here.

Mom Jan, not a day goes by without me thinking of you and feeling your absence. My heart smiles when I think about the memories we shared. Our long drives to no where specific, stopping for lunch at all the unfamiliar places, taking a road that leads to now where specific, getting lost and trying to find our way out, discovering all the new places, getting stuck in the mad and laughing about it, listening to our favorite music and singing, hearing our childhood stories and so much more. How do I wish to relive those days, but I know it is just a dream. Mom, I love and miss you every day, rest in peace.
April 19, 2024
Mom, you taught me so many things in life, except how to go through life without you.

Mom, it is especially painful this time of the year not having you around because I remember you being all excited going shopping for new plants and trees every spring. Watching the birds taking a bath and eating seeds from the feeders. How I wish I could relive those days with you. Not having you in our lives have created a void that will never be filled. How I wished I told you how much I loved you, and how important you were in my life. I love and miss you so much mom.

Time has not healed my wounds of losing you, they say it gets better, but it still hurt as much as the day you left us. I still talk to you, cry in private, and ask your advise. I know you are listening because after I talk to you, I feel a little better.

Mom, I miss you more today than ever before. I miss your smile, your laughs, the beautiful stories, and your great advises. They say it won't hurt after a while, but my wounds are as fresh as the day you left us. Miss you my sweet mamma, may you rest in peace. I love you mom!

Its so strange to read all these messages and see how much of an impact youve made on so many people. When my parents recall times with you, I see this certain light in their eyes that shines bright with love. They describe how sweet, kind and thoughtful you were. I never had the luck to meet you, i do feel as if I have and I hope that you love me with open arms as much as you did with every person who has every met you. I visited your grave when I was in Nebraska, I felt this aura radiating off it. You have brought this certain light to every human being you met, and I wish I got to meet you. I hope youre enjoying heaven, with everything you deserve, and I want to thank you for all the light you have brought to every person who has ever recalled you

Mom, I miss you so much especially during the holiday season. I wish you were here. Love you so much!
December 17, 2019
Christmas is around the corner, somehow I still dont feel the excitements, the hustle bustle and the happiness it should bring. I miss you so much Kaki Jon. I feel the emptiness amplified with the holidays and special occasions. I remember, when you sat around Laughing, smiling and looking around. I miss that so much, I looked for your little smile & your laughter in the crowd. Although, I have not found a complete person as perfect as you, I do find little pieces of you in others. I hold the hand that looks like yours a bit longer, I look at the hair that looks & feel like yours a bit longer, I walk a little slower next to the person who walks like you & take a little glimpse and smile.
Although I used to look around for your love and smile when you were with us, now I look up to heaven and hope youre looking down on me.
Every celebration I have a moment that I totally find myself engulfed in sorrow, feeling of emptiness and sadness like today. Then I ask myself, what would mom wanted me to do? I Shake it off & carry on....
Always love, thank you & Im grateful for having you. Lots of love!!!
October 24, 2019
The only reason I dont want every child to have a mom like you, is because I know that everyone may not have the strength to lose a mother like you. I miss you my beautiful mamma. I miss your existence, your beautiful smile, and your unconditional love, wish you were here.

June 6, 2019
Mom, I miss. Wish you were here, I can think of a thousand things I wanted to do with you. I could have just sat down next to you to tell me the old stories. Or listened to you to get an update about each family members, about who is doing what. Or just gone to a long drive, stopped in the middle of nowhere for lunch, just to drive back four hours to get home. Maybe listened to the old songs, and to hear your soft clapping. Or going to your favorite place to eat. My wish list goes on and on mom, I miss and love you so much.

I've never dealt with anything more difficult than having to face the world without you. Losing you did not kill me, but something inside me died that day. Happy mother's day mom, I miss you so much.

Mom, you left us beautiful memories, your love is still our guide, although we cannot see you, you're always at our side. No matter where we are or what we're doing, your memories will always keep us smiling.
February 8, 2019
Mom, I miss you so much. Nine years ago, you left us and the pain is as fresh as the day you left. My minds says you are in a better place, where there is no pain, and you are at peace. I truly understand that, I just wish I could explain that to my heart.
There are moments in my life when I wish I could bring you back from Heaven just to spend a day with you. Give you one more hug, one more chance to hear your voice, one more kiss, one more drive, one more chance to say "I LOVE YOU", and kiss you goodbye. I love you so much mom.
February 7, 2019

Hello my beautiful grandma,
Just today, I was having a terrible nightmare, but right before I woke up, I saw you and you protected me from the scariness. I woke up and i was so grateful to see you again & feel your warmth, even if it was only for a few seconds. How I wish I could go back to sleep to see you again. I miss you so much. I wish for one more time to hold your hand as we walk to Surfside from the car. I wish once more to smell your smell, to feel your soft hards. You are forever in my heart Kako jan.
I love you so much.
March 13, 2018
There are moments in life when you wish you could bring someone down from Heaven. Spend the day with them just one more time, take a long drive, give them one more hug, kiss them good bye or just hear their voice again. Just one more chance to say I LOVE YOU!!!
Miss you so much mom.
Love always!
February 6, 2018
We love you mom. February 7th, 8 years ago, was the hardest day of our lives. You're so missed. I know mom that I shouldn't be sad and remember our good times together but I really can't help remembering the monumental impact of your loss. I wasn't worried when we left the country, wasn't scared that we may not have food to eat or place to stay or even make it alive, because I always knew YOU would figure it out. However, I was really scared on February 7 because I no longer had that protection and security. I was unsure of life.
Love ❤
Missing Momma!

This is the 10th year, or is it? Hard to believe that we lived without you all these years. It was without you but really felt your presence every day, in every event, especially when we gathered where you lived and where you still live, in spirit! We know that you are watching over us, and we thank you, Momma!
LOVE!
January 30, 2018
Mom;
My mind still talks to you, my heart still looks for you. My soul knows you are at peace, and in a better place where there is no pain.
I MISS YOU SO MUCH!
LOVE YOU MOM.
November 8, 2017
Mom, if I had one more day with you, what would I say or do?
Would it surprise you if I said nothing, other than I love you?
I would just sit there and stare at you. I would try to memorize the shape of your eyes, mouth, & nose. I would try to remember your beautiful smile. I would breath in your scent and will hold your beautiful soft hands.
I love you so much mom.
September 21, 2017
Mom,
The minute you left me, my heart was split in two, one side filled with beautiful memories we have shared, and the other side just was gone with you.
Often I lay awake at night when the world is fast asleep, and take a walk down the memory lane and wish and wonder what it would be like if I could relive those moments once again.
Mom, remembering you is easy as I do that with every breath I take every day, but missing you is a pain that never goes away. I am holding you tight with in my heart & there you will remain until we meet again.
Happy Birthday mama, I miss you so much!!!!
July 29, 2017
Grandma how much I miss you. Occasionally I walk through my house and I stare at your picture and it brings back so many great memories.I always focus on our journey from Afghanistan here to the US and how much courage and it must have took to"change" your whole life. I am very grateful to be able to say that I had a great relationship with my lovely grandmother.Today I sit here and watch my kids play and I reflect on our family tree and how our family keeps growing. Life is beautiful if you respect it. Grandma you brought my mother into this world and my mother brought me into this world and I brought my kids into this world and the cycle will continue and improve at every level, love you grandma, rest in heaven.❤
July 21, 2017
Mom, the one thing harder than losing you was being with you and knowing that you were drifting a part, and there was not a thing I could do to change that, no matter how hard I tried.
Miss you so much mom, I love you for ever & ever.
