I sit here this early morning reflecting on life and remembering your sweet love, resilience, faith in Christ, and deep love for us your family and the several people you embraced as your children and I weep but at the same time smile with the strong values and legacies you left behind.
Though nine years have passed since you departed this sinful world, your presence lingers in the very fabric of my being, a gentle whisper in the wind, a soft echo in the chambers of my heart. Time may have dimmed the sharpness of grief, but it has not dulled the depth of love that I hold for you - a love that transcends the boundaries of life and death, reaching across the vast expanse of eternity.
In the tapestry of my memories, you are woven everywhere with threads of love, kindness, and unwavering strength. You were more than a mother; you were my guiding light, my confidante, my source of strength and comfort in times of distress. Your love was a beacon of hope in the darkest of nights, a steady hand to hold amidst life's turbulent seas.
Though you may no longer walk beside me in the physical realm, your spirit continues to walk with me every step of the way. In moments of joy, I feel your presence, a silent celebration of life's precious moments. In moments of sorrow, I find solace in your memory, a reminder that love transcends the boundaries of time and space.
Your legacy lives on not only in the memories we cherish but also in the lessons you imparted, those core values, resilience, patience, compassion, and unwavering faith in God that continue to guide me through life's myriad challenges. You taught me the true meaning of love - selfless, unconditional, and eternal - and for that, I am forever grateful.
As I navigate the journey of life, I continue to carry you very closely with me always, a beacon of light illuminating the path ahead. Though you may have left this world, your love remains etched in the very fabric of my soul, a timeless reminder of the bond we share - a bond that transcends the boundaries of life and death, uniting us in a love that knows no end. I continue to intentionally continue those legacies and core values you taught me.
Until we meet again, sweet mother, know that you are loved beyond measure and missed beyond words. Your memory will forever be a treasure, a guiding star in the vast expanse of eternity. Continue to rest peacefully in the bosom of the Lord.
