My very Dearest Mother,

It is May 8th, Mother´s Day. The day honoring all the mothers around the world whether here on earth or in heavenly spirit. Even though you are in heaven, there is not one day that goes by that I wished you were here to celebrate this day. I know how this day is supposed to be so I hope you are enjoying yourself in heaven with all the mothers with you.
I thank you for giving me life, for the sacrifices you made, and all the wonderful guidance you have provided me. You are by far the greatest mother I could have asked for. I love you so much.
Happy Mother´s Day Mom!

My Dearest Mother,

Today embarks one year since you departed us to join Jesus in heaven. It has been a rough road for me but with your thoughts and words of wisdom in my heart and mind, I am able to function through life's unwinding road. I continuously think of the fond memories and words you would say while providing me guidance. Your physical presence is still missed however you are always in my heart. I only wish I had more time with you. A part of my heart was ripped when you left which I am still trying to mend. I get a little stronger as time passes but it's still hard. Love and miss you dearly, Mom.

She's getting big mom and I know you would've loved to hold her like with all your great grandkids. Things are getting better but it's still not the same with seeing your precious smile or saying Lita come here. Send special blessings to everyone.

Love you dearly Mom!
