Mom,
I was not able to write something like this when you passed. I didn’t understand the hurt I would feel gone in that moment. I’m filled with regret everyday thinking about the times missed to talk to you. The moments lost to hug you. The opportunities that passed to say “I love you.” Living in a world you’re no longer in is suffocatingly sad at times. How I wish heaven had a telephone. But I’m thankful because there wasn’t a time you weren’t there for me. Even though I let you down so many times. You were the best mom in the world, because you were my mom! Your memory will always be safe in my heart and I love and miss you with all of mine. Until we are together again…..
