Mom, it has taken me a few months to write this. We had not talked for quite some time, BUT I have always loved you. I wish there was more time to say this to you when you were alive.
I hope you knew that- even though we were not close- you were my mom and tried your best with what you knew. Being a parent is the hardest job, you broke cycles from your childhood and I did the same.
I can see parts of you in me and my boys.
I am glad you were surrounded by your whole family when you passed- not many have that.
Our family – that you started and created- traveled all over to be there as you went to heaven.
That shows how we are as a family- there when it matters most.
You were taken to soon but know you will always be in our hearts.
I love you mommy! This was all too sudden. Things that I never got to say. Things I never got to show you. I hope you are proud of me. We didn’t talk much. But you were always on my mind everyday. Chase is little sad today but he’s okay. I know you are watching us and guiding us. You will always be in my heart, mind and soul. I see so much of you in me as I get older. You taught me so many things and I hope I’ll be just as good as a mother just like you always have been!! I love you so much!
Mom, this is breaking my heart completely. I know you are going to watch over the whole family. I have been trying to stay strong and brave as you would want. Thank you for everything. I love you so very much. You will truly missed by many.
You were an amazing grandma. You taking care of me when I was kid. Baking with me. The way we talked when it was just us was just the best. If you wanted to know I will be getting a tattoo of you on me so I can always have you with me wherever I go! I love you forever and always! From you first grandchild
