[quote=Anonymous]Mom, I miss you so much!  I cannot imagine never seeing you again.

You were the best mom in the entire world! Growing up, you made it look effortless. Once I became an adult, you became my best friend. How do I live without both my mom and my best friend? I feel adrift. I want to pick up the phone to call you many times throughout the day. You were the one who helped me through the difficult times in my life. There is just no substitute for you. I ask myself what advice you would give me. How did you survive losing your mom?

I wish you hadn't worried so much about being a burden in the last months. I wanted to take care of you. I just wish you hadn't felt the need to be so strong. I know you had to be frightened but you never admitted it. I lay awake at night thinking about how terrified you must have been and my heart breaks.

Your grandkids talk about you every time they get together. They love you and miss you, but a part of you lives on through them. You were there to see each of them draw their first breath and you were a constant source of love and support as they grew. Thank goodness they knew you and felt your love!

I'm sorry I couldn't save you. You always nursed me back to health when I was sick, but I couldn't do the same for you. I feel guilty that in the end I prayed to god to let you go.

I love you. I miss you. I'm sorry.
