I miss you, Momma...

Another year has passed... making today 9 years that you've been gone, Momma. I can't believe it's almost been a decade since you left this world. It just doesn't seem real to me... It never has. Sadly, the fact remains that it is very real and it's never gotten any easier to deal with. I've accepted that it probably never will. I don't think it's ever really supposed to. You being gone has left such a massive void in my life... I know I say it every year on this day, but I miss you.. I wish you were still here. I would honestly give anything just to have a 5 minute conversation with you.. if for nothing more than to simply hear your voice again and to be able to laugh with you like we always used to. We were always in our own little world when we talked and I miss that more than you'll ever know... I miss my Mom, my best friend, and my other half. It was always you, Momma. It's no wonder I'm so screwed up these days. Half of me died the day you did. I just try to keep on keeping on because I know in my heart that's what you'd want me to do. There is so much more I could say but I think I'll end this here. I hope you know that you are loved, remembered, and sorely missed... Rest easy, Momma... I love you always... ❤️

Here's my song to you. I've listened to it every year on this day since you've been gone.
