My angelic Momma!!

October 6th 2008-

today was a very hard day. I miss my mom very much, I can not believe that she has been gone for two years.

I never thought that it would be so lonely without her here, to see, hug, listen to, and smell.

My mom had the most amazing smell- I close my eyes and I can almost smell it- sweet and inviting, an aroma that no one else in this world has.

She had such a spirit about her, she could brighten you day with just a smile and a loving word.

I am glad that Mara was able to get to know my mom a little bit. Mara talks about her everyday and tells me that Grandma Joyce-y loves her and misses all of us.

Mara misses her grandma and loves her greatly.

Momma- I love you!! I miss you with all of my heart, what I would give to just be able to hug you once more and to hear you tell me that you love me. You are an amazing woman that I will always strive to be like, though no one will ever be as wonderful and amazing as you.
