How have I survived these past 15 years without you? I miss the sound of your voice, the sweet smell of your skin, your unconditional love, and dozens of other things about you. You were my sunshine.

It is 11 o`clock, October 20, the same time that you passed into heaven 14 years ago, my sweet mama. It`s hard to believe that it`s been that long. I miss you as much as ever, and I guess I always will. I will never love anyone more than I love you.

It`s hard to believe that you would be 105 on this year`s birthday. What I would give to see you one more time and cook another pink birthday cake for you! I dream of you often and think of those dreams as little visits. You were the best mother anyone could be.

Happy birthday in heaven, Mama. I miss you as much as ever. I know that we will be together again someday soon. I love you!

October 20, 2007 was the worst day of my life. You were my rock and strength, and I wonder sometimes how I have survived all these years without you. Sometimes at night I look up at the stars and wonder if you know how much I miss you.

I am thinking of you more than ever today, Mama! I hope that you are happy there with all the friends and relatives that you loved and lost. It is very sad when you have lost more loved ones than you have left, and I have definitely reached that point in life. I will see you soon. I love you.

It is your birthday again, my sweet mama! It has been almost 10 years since I told you "Goodbye," but it hasn`t gotten any easier to live without you. I hope that you are reunited with your mother and daddy and all the loved ones you missed. I love you and happy birthday!

Happy 100th birthday in heaven, my little Millie! I wish that I could have baked you another pink birthday cake today. I think of you every day!
