I think of you everyday mommy. I miss and love you. Sometimes I wish you would give me a clear sign you´re still here. Praying I see you again.
I´m glad I have your name tatted on my arm.
Reminiscing the days we would blast Early 2000s R&B in your old brown Corolla. Even laughing , hugging and spending time together.
I´ll always stay positive and do my best in this life. Thank you god for giving me the little time I had with you. Amen.

"When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure." When Rhianna's "Shine bright like a Diamond" plays, I always think of you and the sweet & funny times we shared, as a few could not believe we actually ended up being great friend's. I will always cherish our Applebee's nights or our trips to Wal-Mart and you pushing Amarley in the cart, missing your own boys. You could not wait to see them. Your heart was always pure & full of good intentions always. I remember the night this all unfolded, I told you not to get on that bike. You said "I'm a lil scared, but I'm that ride or die type of chick" that next morning was like a dream. I will never forget finding out of your passing. Amber was over that night, we discovered you were going on the bike. I passed her the phone to see, I will never forget the look we gave one another. I use to ask why would you go back to Miami after I dropped you off at Amanda's house? Only "GOD" knew you needed him more, is what I have told myself over these past years. Beautiful girl will forever be 29. You were a blessing in my life. I will never forget you. "Find light in the beautiful sea, I choose to be happy
You and I, you and I, we're like diamonds in the sky
You're a shooting star I see, a vision of ecstasy" I always hear you singing this when it plays. xoxo

It's been 6 years now since you've have been gone, but you still live on in our hearts and mind. Thankfully, though, we have the resurrection hope. John 5:28, 29 and Revelation 21: 3-4 guarantees this. Those verses states that many who are now sleeping in death will awaken again. Jesus Christ will be the one doing this. So when he calls, I am sure you will answer.
