Hey Momma... The day of the year that brings me the most pain has come again. You've been gone for six years now... time just keeps passing by and the pain of you being gone remains. I try my best to remember the good times but it's bittersweet. Sometimes I smile or even chuckle thinking back to the wonderful moments we got to spend together, but it always ends with me tearing up because those moments are gone forever... no more new moments to be had. I tell ya Momma, I would truly give anything just to talk to you on the phone and hear your voice again. There was no one on this planet that understood me the way you did. Your words were always so soothing to me especially if I was down and out. You always had a way with words, you knew just what to say to comfort me no matter what I was going through. Even when we would simply reminisce about the past or tell each other how we've been doing since the last time we spoke, I always treasured our talks... they meant the world to me. My favorite talks with you were the times when we were able to get together and we'd often times go get our Dunkin Donuts caramel mocha iced coffees then go to a park and we'd just sit and talks for hours. I don't know if you ever fully knew just how much those times with you meant to me... Thank you for being the best Mom any kid could ever ask for... I can never really thank you enough for all the times you were there for me throughout my life... The only thing I was ever completely sure of was that you loved me. I am so thankful that I got to have you as my Mother and my best friend. The bond we shared was truly a gift, one I will for the rest of my life be thankful for. I miss you more than you will ever truly know... Rest easy, Momma... I love you... ❤
