Dear. Mom I still miss you. My heart still
Hurts of the vacancy of the love we shared
I think of you every day that goes by. The emptiness is very real. I hold on to Memories
but still hard. I know that life is that way.
but I dont have to like it. God is watching over
me And you too. It was the hardest thing to do
to see you leave. You are my rock. Its been loney With out you. I'm doing the best I can
Tears still come But God took you home because you would never get better. You are at peace now. Some day hope to meet you again
In Heaven With eveyone else. I love you so much. I keep you in my heart forever.
Keep watching over me and guiding me.
Love that neaver dies. TCB FOREVER..❤❤

I so miss her, she always gave me advice(which was unbiased and good)she was one of the people in this world who was truly loyal; she covered me when I needed covering, she never judged me and she was always there when I needed her; I miss her so and will always miss her.
