"To My Mom"

I couldn't lie down until I had written something in tribute to my Mom. She has been gone three years now. I can't sit here and say that I think about her everyday because I don't. But when I do, I think of her with the of greatest admiration and love a son could give. She taught me to be honest, open minded, and caring. She did well! She was a mother of twelve and single during the greatest part of her motherhood. Therefore, she taught us to be strong in the face of adversity.

I have still yet to mourn her loss or shed a single tear. Not because she wasn't a loss but more a gain to me. My life has been so enriched because of her and knowing that she is in heaven, I know I will see her again. So, I have never said good-bye, only "I'll see you later!"

I could probably write a book about her, meaning there is no room here for so much that she has left me and her other children to tell about. So, again, I will leave this at that. I do miss my Mom, very much. I am so thankful for her!

"Mom? I love you so very much! I miss you. I will see you later! And above all else, THANK YOU for being there for me everytime I needed you!"
