Hi Hi Mama,
The kids and I were talking about the movie projector in your mind on the way home from Jake's football practice yesterday evening. I miss your stories, I wish I could tell stories like that to my babies. Actually I wish you were still here to tell them your stories. I have your pink watch in a Ziplock bag and when I opened it the other day it still smells like you. I miss you so much. I've heard it said that living with the death of a loved one is like learning to live without an appendage, you're supposed to be here, your just not. Who else is gonna be as excited as me when I accomplish, overcome or experience something awesome? Who's going to be there to comfort me or make things better with just the sound of her voice? Then I started thinking I’m probably viewed the same way by my children, what's going to happen to them when I pass away? Who’s going to be there loving them the way I do? You were a huge part of my life and now there is part of me that will always be missing. I have been blessed many times over, more than I deserve. As mothers we are so important, yet most of the time we feel that what we do isn’t good enough. We want the very best life that we’ve envisioned for our children and when we can’t always fulfil our own expectations we feel like we’ve let them down. Yet we keep moving, running, pushing forward, striving to be more. We're there every day, loving, supporting, feeding, healing, cleaning, correcting, crying, teaching and when we're not physically with our children everything we do is motivated by what's best for them. Even when we feel like we’re making mistakes and screwing them up, they’re still awesome, they have mother's that love them unconditionally, and no matter what mistakes she makes she is still the best mother her kids could ask for. What could be closer to God than mothers? I want everyone to know I appreciate you mama, what you taught me and how you loved me, for my good experiences and bad, they made me who I am. Thank you for being the best Mama for me. Thank you God for allowing me to be that close to You, thank You for the mother You chose for me and the babies You entrusted to me, giving me the very best. I am grateful for all the people You place in my life. Thank you babies, you are the best people I have and will ever know! I am so grateful to be your mother and to experience unconditional love for and from so many people. You are all I ever wanted. Through the good times and bad our lives mean something. Life is precious. Mama, your life meant something to me, I miss you so much, I love you.
