Almost forty-Eight years ago you gave birth to a little, dark-haired little girl – ME! I sometimes wonder what life would have been like without the parents I have, but I do know I would have been very disappointed in God had I not been given my parents.
Sometimes, Mom, I wonder how you made it through the hard times we had, but it was only because of you that we did. You always kept us together. I’m not writing this to bring up all the memories of the sometimes hurting past, but I am writing this to let you know how much I admired and respected you – and above all loved you! You were always there for me, and I know there were times when your heart was breaking because of what I did, but love always came through and that is what prevailed.
You know, Mom, I don’t think I would be the person I am now if it hadn’t been for you. You allowed me the chance to leave at an early age, much to your dismay. I made some promises I know wasn’t kept – like becoming a Nurse, but through all the mistakes I made, you were always there for me. You never pointed a finger of blame, nor made me feel like the biggest dope in the world. At times you even wanted to shoulder all the blame yourself by thinking you were never able to give or do enough for me. Well, you did all you could do at the time, which was just love me. Believe me that was plenty.
I just wanted to tell you in my own words how much you meant to me. You are the reflection of me, my point of being, and an essence of spirit that flows from you, through me, through my children and will continue on through their children – a chain never to be broken. I will miss our long conversations on the phone and the fun times we had going garage sale hopping.
I may not be close to you in the physical sense now but I want you to know you will always be with me in spirit and in my heart forever.

I Love You and miss you
