Mom, I have loved you my whole life. You were the best mom a daughter could ever ask for. You taught me so much and made me the person I am today. My life will not be the same without you. You were the only person I could talk to and knew the right words to make me feel better. There is an empty feeling in my heart and I feel lost but I can hear your voice telling me it will get better because God doesn’t give us anything we can’t handle. I know you are at peace and no longer suffering. I love you mom.
