  1. Mama's little Angel says:

    Momma… I think about you a thousand times a day, and every one of those times makes me smile, yet makes me so sad at the same time. Mom, you were the best mom ever, and I know some people say that about their moms, but, you Mom, you were different. You believed in me… you believed in me more than I believed in myself… you let me make my mistakes, (on my own) and you let me do them because you trusted enough in your teachings that I would find my way… Scary trip with all of us, I’m sure… but you know what mom… You did the best thing for me… I found a career that I LOVE… whatever you and dad decided for all of us, who knows… but what you did for me… that was the absolute right thing…. and I want you to know that I wouldn’t change one thing in the way you raised me… you guys did a better job than I could imagine… and I only hope to take what you have taught me, and teach it to Brayden. Mom… I was lucky enough to have you meet Brayden, to love him, and to cherish him… I was so lucky to have you in the delivery room with me to see him born… who knew what, nearly 5 months could do… it was its own circle of life. Anyhow mom…. I miss you more than ever, and there isn’t a day that goes without me thinking about you, and there isnt a decision I make without having my “conversation” with you first…. I love you mom, and I miss you more than I’ve missed anything before… you are in my heart, my soul, and my being… and I thank you for all that you’ve done, not just for me, but for our family. You were the greatest, absolute greatest… you live on in me, in all of us. We love you Mom!
