Mom, it's been 6 years since I've seen you and I still feel much, much pain at losing you. I know that we never as close as the other kids, but I still looked up to you and needed you so much. I know that was all my doing as you were always there for me when I decided that I wanted to open up to someone with my problems.

Today I look at my grand kids and feel so much pain for them, not being able to have known you and the love that you shared with all of us. It breaks my heart to know that they will never be able to know the kind of person that you were and to have to miss out on your warmth and personality.

Mom when I say my prayers I also pray that I can be the kind of grand mother that you were, I pray that I can live my life the way that you did. The forgiving way that you had. I have a problem with forgiveness and I know that makes me miss out on a lot of good things in life. I try to lead my life as you were I don't think I will ever have another person in my life as great as you; I miss you so much mommy!
