I can't believe you've been gone a year mom. There has not been one day since you left us that I have not cried. I swear the day God called you home, half of my heart went too. You were such an inspiring soul, always there for anyone who came to her with their troubles. A heart of gold, her hospitality made anyone feel at home. The most loving, caring, humble, compassionate, family oriented woman and the strongest,one of the most beautiful souls one could ever meet. You taught me so much that I'm forever thankful for, love, strength, kindness, forgiveness, faith, courage, and so much more. You are so much more than a mother to me and I pray you knew that no matter how many times we would drive each other crazy lol nothing could ever change that You're my mom, safe place, secret keeper, turn my tears into laughs and my fears into faith, do anything for each other kind of BEST FRIEND. I say you ARE all of that to me even though you are gone because nobody else will ever compare to that bond. Every day for 30 years you were there for me no matter what whether we saw each other everyday or it was a morning chat over coffee together on the phone or, late night text and I'm blessed for having you for all those years even if it was another 30 years from now,it wouldnt be enough after having that every day to not at all because you taught me so many things in life except for how to live without you. I know the rest of this life you won't be with me but a piece of my heart went with you and this is not goodbye, so with tears rolling down my face I'll simply say...until that day comes when I'll see you again, and we'll be dancing with the angels watch over us all, for your my guardian angel. I love you to the moon and back mom✝️
