Momma,
My sweet, beautiful, loving Momma.
I miss you so much. Sometimes, I don't even know what to do without you here.
The pain and longing of missing you just doesn't go away. I miss your kind, loving words. Your positive outlook and your good advice for any problem I had.
How I wish I could look at your beautiful face, and admire your sparkling blue eyes, and hear your beautiful voice once again.
I will always be thankful for having you as my kind, gentle, loving Momma.
I want to hug you so much right now, if only I could.
And I'm sorry for not hugging you enough, especially that one time I denied you a hug and hurt your loving heart. I was so selfish and bratty for doing that. I realized later in life, how hurtful that must have felt to you at the time. I'm so sorry Momma.
You wouldn't hug me again, I made you feel unsafe to want to hug me again. Like a biting animal if you get too close. I apologized years later, over and over, but I still regret denying you that time, I am glad though that I realized what I did while you were alive, and that I did apologize and I made the effort to let you know how wrong I was and how right you were for hugging me. I hugged you tons after that, to make up for it and to let you know how much I care for you.
But, I felt I could never make up for it enough, because then you wouldn't hug me when I asked you. You were playing with me. I saw the half smile on your face. I now think your arms got tired to hold me, your hugs were soft and gentle and you’d pat me with your hands. Oh, how I miss your loving hugs.
I made so many mistakes with you and Dad, I wish I could take them back. All those years I left home and rarely called and never wrote. It turned out I missed you and I didn't even realize how much I missed you, till the years had passed and too much time was gone. I saved your cards and I still am so grateful for the money you struggled to send me in your letters to me. You ALWAYS showed me such enduring, powerful love. I just didn't understand it at the time. Now I Do.
Thank you so much for your Priceless Gift of Pure Love.
I'm sorry for not always showing you how much I appreciated you while you were here. I did my best to show you how much I love and appreciate you the last few years of your life.
I told you often that I love you, and I hope you felt how much I love you and how much you meant to me through my actions in your last years that I spent with you.
I loved every moment being with you. I miss you Momma. I miss your care and your Pure Love. Thank you for teaching me, and being so good to me.
I love you, forever and a day.
Your Kathy

Although you're gone by. Shannon Walker

Mom, Although you're gone, I'm not alone,
And never shall I be,
For the precious memories of the bond we shared
Will never depart from me.

Our love surpassed the ups and downs
And helped us along the way,
And that same love will give me strength
To manage this loss each day.

On my mind and in my heart,
Mom, you shall forever be,
For just as much as I am a part of you,
You are a part of me!
