Mom, it will be eleven years on February 8th since you passed away. I love and miss you. However I know you are better off in heaven with the Lord and the Angels. The US is so divided now and so many people hating each other. Happy you don't have to be here. Love your baby girl.

Mom, it will be ten years since you passed away. The hole left in my heart has never went away since you've been gone. My dementia is getting worse and I couldn't remember even your birthday this year or the date you passed away. I know you know all of this because you are in Heaven and can see this. I watched you gradually loose more and more of your memories when you also had Alzheimer's. Now I'm also getting worse as the days go by. Even if I forget you one day here on earth from my dementia. I know we'll be united again someday in Heaven. I love and miss you Mom. Love your little baby girl Linda.
