Mommy, It still feels so surreal that its been 5 years without you! As I grow older each year. I've truly come to appreciate much more the many sacrifices you made for us and it hurts me that you didn't stay to enjoy the fruits of your labor! So many things I really want to share with you but I can't . 
I'd continue to take solace in facts that :

Your memory lives on! 
Your seeds are bearing more fruits! 
Your vision is still alive! 
Your name still brings smiles! 

I love you so much mommy. 
You may be gone from this side but you are never forgotten, cause you left indelible footprints on the sand of time.
