4 years have now passed but the yearning to talk to you and see you is still in my heart.

Mom, This will be short, because I have done well all day, but tonight I'm very sad and teary. I love and miss you so much, so very much. Happy Mother's Day Michelle

Mom, This will be your second birthday in Heaven and I hope it's as wonderful as your first one. I don't need to tell you how much we all still miss you, you already know. And, because of that wonderful love we had while you were here with us, it's neverending and constantly with us now that you're gone. I think about you everyday, still, and that's a comfort to my heart, soul and mind. I...

Mom, I know that even though you weren't physically with us this Christmas, your Spirit was everywhere. Di put out all the decorations and the house looked so festive. Dad did get rid of the big tree and put up a smaller one this year. We put more ornaments on the tree for you and it's fun to look at the new ones. Even though it's now been 16 months, the tears never go away. Time has lessen...

Mom, Tomorrow it will be a year since you left us. It went by so fast, yet you were on my mind almost all of my waking hours. Words alone cannot express how much I miss you, we all do. My eyes still tear when I think of you. We managed to get through all of the firsts: the first Thanksgiving, Christmas, your birthday, our birthdays, Mother's Day and dads birthday. This was his first birth...

Mom there is not a day nor an hour that I do not think of you, miss you and love you. We were not ready to loose you but we are grateful that your life was happy and almost pain free. I was thankful that I was able to spend a few days and hours with you before your heavenly visit but I cannot help but relive those last few hours and minutes everyday. Dad is doing well, he has actual...

Mom, This will be my first Mother's Day without you. I think about you all the time and still weep and probably always will. I'm giving you this heart tribute because this one isn't broken like mine. I know you know how much we all miss you and wish you were still with us. But where you are has to be the most wonderful place and someday we'll see each other again. Love and miss you so much.

Mom, I'm lighting this candle for you in hopes you'll feel it's warmth as the weather gets colder. You've only been gone a few months and sometimes it seems longer, at other times it's just like yesterday. I will be home to see you in a few weeks. Miss you so much, Michelle

Mom, I think of you almost every hour of every day. I miss you so very much and wish that we'd had more time to just have a cup of coffee in the morning and talk. I know that you are with the Lord and your family in Heaven, which comforts me. Keep watch over us, please. Forever in my heart, Michelle
