WELL MOM IT’S BEEN A LITTLE MORE THAN TWO WEEKS SINCE YOU LEFT AND NOT ONE DAY GOES BY THAT I AM NOT THINKING OR WISHING YOU WERE STILL HERE BY MY SIDE..MOM I MISS YOU SO MUCH I SAW MYSELF PICK UP THE PHONE TO CALL YOU JUST TO CHAT ,,AND THEN IT HIT ME SO HARD THAT YOU WILL NOT BE ON THE OTHER END TO ANSWER I FIND SOME COMFORT IN KNOWING THAT YOU ARE NOT SUFFERING NO MORE BUT IT STILL DOESN’T STOP THE PAIN IN MY HEART I LOVE YOU ALWAYS HAVE ALWAYS WILL !!!!
yvette(goldie gold) says
No matter what I do to move on from this pain, deep down inside I will always know that I’ll never get to hug my mom again. I miss you. Mom, your memories are my life’s only solace. The pain and regret of not making the most of every single moment we spent together is worse than the pain of your death. all this has made me realize that every single second we spent together, I wasted an opportunity to tell you how much I loved you.i should have said it more often…
yvette(goldie gold) says

Mother you have moved on to a better place, I know that you are looking down from up above,You have become a part of the earth,
The sun, the moon, and the stars The universal energy of eternal love,I miss you so much,I keep telling myself to be strong that you wouldn’t want me to be filled with so much sorrow and be so lost, but sometimes my tears flow freely, I try to undo this knot in my throat,but all my emotions from losing you,Resurfaces…from the depths of my heart and soul .When I see other people
with their mothers, I feel like I’ve been punished
for not having been a better daughter,I love and miss you mom
Because I still needed you in my life,I’d never imagined…
Having to say goodbye to you, so soon,I love you, mom
And this is me missing you…always
Until its time to see you, again

Hello Mom, It’s been some time. Lorraine, Bubie, Chickie and I miss you dearly.
I was looking at some text you sent me from early 2015, saying you lost some weight and you sugar was down. My favorite text is when you said you “always have some much fun with me”. Miss hearing your voice and you calling me “Pito”. I just miss you so much Mom. Rest in peace Momma bear.
