Who am I? Where am I?
I am the one you called daughter, sister, lover, mom, and friend.
I am where I have always been; in your heart, mind, body and souls, only now I can finally be in 3 places at once and never worry about time or parking. I can fly for free and sneak into any movie.
I can hug and kiss you in front of your friends or boss and you don't have to worry or be embarrassed.
I will be there laughing when you are reminded of the silly things we did together or whatever I did to get your goat.
I will be at your games, graduations, weddings, birth of your children and for all your success and failures, forever cheering you on.
I can be anywhere, everywhere, and so much more if you let me.
I will always be.. I will always love you ..I will always remember you.. all you have to do is remember me..and believe.
