Mom, l pray that you know how deeply I love and admire you. You always were and forever will be my hero. I won't ever be the amazing mom that you were. No one could do what you did. Your constant hard work for us wasn't ever given the recognition or praise it so desperately deserved. You weren't ever looking for that, I know, it wasn't important to you. You just did what you needed to do to take good care of us. I am certain that you are the finest person I will ever know. You continue to inspire me everyday. I miss you so much sometimes it's hard to breathe and I would do anything to hold your hand and kiss your cheek and hear you laugh again. But those things will stay locked in my heart with a million other beautiful memories of you. Thank you for your endless courage, your incredible strength, your gracious and gentle soul, your tremendous talent, your vivacious spirit, your kind and forgiving heart, your open mind, your open home, your delicious food, your love of nature, your appreciation for art and music, your great smile and infectious belly laughs, your amazing back rubs and late night Q's pizzas but most of all mom, thank you for teaching us to be kind and generous to one another and to teach our children to love God and value family above all things. I still need you everyday, who wouldn't? You are the greatest example of how to live a beautiful life. I'll never say good bye mom for you are here, present in my heart and I see you everyday in my children's eyes. I love you my mom.
