Today marks the 8th Mother's Day I've had to celebrate without my Mom being here and it still doesn't seem real to me. This time of year used to be a happy time in my life... I got to celebrate my Mom for being the best Mom any kid could ever ask for... But now it's become a day of sadness for me because she isn't here anymore. Her absence has left a hole in my heart... I've really only felt like half a person since she passed away. The bond we shared was something I was always so grateful for... I'm thankful I got to have her in my life for 38 years... I just wish it could have been longer, I wasn't ready for her to leave... but then.. I don't suppose I ever would have been ready.. who ever really is? Death will always be the part of life I hate the most... I just hope that wherever she on the other side that she's at peace. I love you, Momma and I miss you terribly... For as long as I have left to live, I will continue to celebrate you on this day... Happy Mother's Day. ❤
