A Letter to Mom on Her Birthday
Dear Mom,
I can’t believe it’s been 10 years…
My heart still feels so heavy
And my eyes still fill up with tears.
I still miss spending your birthdays with you;
Seeing your beautiful eyes get wide
As I present to you my “surprise”,
The coconut-pineapple cake
That I knew you loved for me to bake.
Although I know the cake’s not very nutritious,
I miss watching you take a bite,
Smile, and then say “it’s delicious!”
I miss going to your favorite restaurant to eat dinner with you,
As we celebrate your birthday with the rest of the Marshall crew.
But most of all, Mom, what I really miss is this…
Being able to FEEL your heart beating,
And to HEAR you breathing,
And to tell you I love you,
While my arms are hugging you
As I give you a big kiss!
I love you Mom and you are FOREVER MISSED, Kim
