Christmas was not the same without MOM.... I keep waiting for Mom to join the celebration. I have to get over that fact that she is in a place that is the true reason for the holiday.


Merry Christmas Mom... I LOVE YOU and MISS YOU.

I miss my best friend, my mentor, my mom. I am only sad that I was to proud to say "I LOVE YOU" to mom more often.

I miss our daily phone calls, to talk about our day. I know you had a great day mom, and so did I.

"I LOVE YOU" and MISS YOU.
