I lost my mom thirty five years ago, and not a day goes by that I don't think of her or miss her. I still dream of her all of the time, and I see her beautiful face smiling upon me. I also celebrate today, because of how special my mom was and the fact that I can feel her love so deeply after all of these years. When people tell me that I am just like her, it is the greatest compliment of all. I was very lucky to have been so close to my mom. I have idolized her my entire life, and I wish I could have protected her from the pain she endured in her life. We both always knew how much we loved each other, and it's a comforting thought. It is a love that I am so sure of and one that is so everlasting
I'm sorry for all of you who know the pain of losing your moms. I hope the special memories can also bring a smile to your hearts the way mine do for me. It's a difficult day, but it is also a very special one. |
