Mom -

Even though you aren't here anymore, I think about you every day.  From the moment I get up in the mornings until I go to bed, you are in my every thought.  There are so many times I want to pick the phone up, call you, and just hear your sweet and comforting voice.  I see your smile from the picture on my desk at work and wish I could put my head on your shoulder, to feel your arms around me, to protect me, to guide me and just to hear your voice.

Its been almost four years since you left me Mom, and I don't know how I will ever make it until I see you again.  Sometimes I feel your presence and see you in my dreams but wish it were so much more.  My heart aches Mom. Things are not the same without you. I feel I have lost my way in the world. You completed so much of me - I look in the mirror and I see so much of you in me, aside from the looks. I try Mom, I do, I try to stay strong, to not cry so much, but its so hard when I feel like I have a hole in my heart that I know won't heal.

Until we meet again in Heaven...

I love and miss you!
