You had been part of my life from the beginning ...
and when I lost you, it seemed too soon.
Still, I see your smile everywhere
your love for everyone and everything only made me love you more. It didn't seem fair that such a bright and loving spirit could be taken away from me. I didn't understand.
In time, I came to realize that you're still somehow so close to me ...
through your absence you taught me that a mother's love is eternal and transcendent. And that is the most beautiful love of all.
Mom, I love you so much.Shirley

i can't imagine losing my mom. you're post made me so teary eyed. So nice to have these images & the stories and memories they must evoke....
Thanks Jessica,
I wanted to post something to honor my mother, and as I was writing I just felt the need to be honest about how I felt. Any sadness that comes from missing her is also accompanied by overwhelming gratitude for all that she's given me.
Wow..this is so powerful...I'm speechless.
I miss my mom, too. :_(
Oh, what a sweet, heartfelt post. You need to print it out and store it in a journal!

She is beautiful!
And, as you say, the love doesn't go away - nor does it change or moderate. Thank god for that.
