Hey Momma , still havent figured out, or accepted what happened. All i know is that i still can't think of you too much for fear that the pain will truly set in. Everything i have accomplished since you left has truly been in honor of you. I still remember the day i became a Marine, and saw so many familiar faces in the crowd, and my mind was still searching for yours.I try to find you still, and have yet to succeed, i miss you so much.YOUR family has grown so strong, each one of the grandkids possess a special part of you somehow, its scary sometimes. I think that was your final parting gift to us, I think you gave us the pieces of yourself that we were all missing all along. I can never thank you enough. I love you Ma.
Your baby boy.
Who is in some ways no longer a baby and in other ways still just that.
