As I watched you take your last breath, and knew you would be free from pain, no one is prepared for losing someone they love so much. I love you dearly Mom. I miss you more than anyone will ever know. There are now two empty spaces in my heart. One being you, Mom, and one being Dad. I will try and fill those space with the memories I have of the two of you. But that will take time. I Love you Mom.
