A TOUGH YEAR

MOTHER~
YOUR KIND WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT THROUGH MY LIFE MADE ME THE PERSON I AM TODAY.
YOUR LAUGHTER TOLD ME IT WAS OK TO BE ME.
YOU TAUGHT MY TO SWIM WITH IN THE OCEAN WITH JOY & APPRECIATION FOR THE EARTH.
YOUR HAPPY FACE WAS THERE EVERYDAY WHEN I CAME HOME FROM SCHOOL & EVERY NIGHT WHEN I WENT TO BED.
YOU WERE MY CLOSEST CONFIDANT & BIGGEST CHEERLEADER.
YOU GAVE ME LIFE LESSONS THAT HELPED ME COPE WITH EVERYDAY OBSTACLES.
I MISS YOU SO MUCH BUT AM GLAD FOR THE TIME WE HAD TOGETHER!
THOSE FUN MOMENTS AT THE BEACH, AT CHURCH, AT CONCERTS AND JUST GOING OUT FOR A MEAL.
I'M GLAD YOU'RE FREE OF THE PAIN OF LIFES' CRUEL DISEASES.
I'M PROUD TO BE YOUR DAUGHTER & CAN'T BELIEVE YOUR GONE.
I'LL BE STRONG FOR MY KIDS & FAMILY & SELF BUT IT'S SO DAMN HARD WITHOUT YOU HERE!
I FEEL LONELY EVERYDAY WITHOUT YOU BUT AM GLAD WE ALWAYS TOLD EACH OTHER HOW WE FELT.
YOU TAUGHT ME ENDLESS THINGS--COOKING, DANCING, SINGING, MUSIC, EVERYTHING!
YOU NEVER HESITATED TO SAY "I LOVE YOU" AND KISS & HUG US KIDS.
YOU WERE THE BEST GRANDMA EVER! YOUR MANY TALENTS NEVER CEASED TO MAZE ME!
LOVE YOU FOREVER!!

I DREAM ABOUT YOU ALL THE TIME & I'M GLAD I CAN SEE YOU THERE.



I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART!!
