Have you ever lost something? Have you ever lost something that you thought you couldn't live without?
I have; I lost my mother when I was 17 years old. I always imagined that I would grow older before I would have to experience the pain and grief of losing a parent. Our lives can end in an instant and we never know when our last day is. There is not a day goes by that I don't wish I could have a hug from her or tell her my troubles. There are so many unanswered questions that I wonder about.
Even though cancer took you away, I am glad you aren't miserable or suffering. Not a day goes by when I don't miss or think about you. I miss all the ways you used to make me smile. I know you are looking down from heaven and watching me become the person I am today. I hope you are smiling and happy about the choices I am making, and I hope you know that you will be happy with what I choose to do in life. Our family is not complete without you.
Mom, I can't express how much I miss and love you. You were truly a wonderful woman and mother, but our time got cut short. There are so many memories in the future that I wish you could be apart of.
Heaven gained an amazing angel. The stars aren't gas forms. In my mind, they are something more magical. People die every day, and to me when they die they go to heaven and as angels, they shine brightly in the night sky. To me, the stars are just angels glowing in the night sky.
A big piece of my heart lives in Heaven, and she is my mom.
