Another mothers day coming up Honey
It’s going on two years since your gone! But yet life is going on.
I miss you so much and there isn’t day that goes by that I don’t think of you or talk about you.

Mother, who gave us her heart and her very soul
Who’s understanding never wavered
The one who dried our tears
She lead us to the path of love and caring
Who washed our cloths and cleaned the house
Who instilled confidence in her children
Who loved

Our hearts are full of memories,
with pride we speak your name.
Though life goes on without you,
It will never be the same.

We love you Honey, we miss you,
you will live in our hearts for eternity.

Happy Mother's Day

We miss you, Honey…
We miss you most
When we first wake up in the morning
We miss you most
When we are trying to fall asleep at night
We can still see your face, your smile,
Your silky silver hair,
And the twinkles in your eyes
We can still hear your soft voice
We miss the way you always managed
To make everything okay,
When things got tough
You showed more love,
And that was just your way
You never gave up so easily

We miss you most
When the night sky is clear

Honey

Hidden in the closet
Is something very special, that I would like to share?
My hopes, my dreams
Old photographs, of good times and bad times that make me laugh
The joy of a hug
The thrill of a kiss leaves me to remember the pure simple bliss.
I cry for the fun, and giggle for the pain
I enjoyed our times together
Every day was special, because of you.
The thoughts and wishes, they all stay with me
All of these contained in my book of memories
You had

Not too long ago, I had to make a choice. Give-up and follow my long life dream, or stay and fight.
I don’t have to tell you Honey, I choose living. Because of what you though me, that life is worth living even with all it’s down fall.
I have endure unforgettable pain. Than again, I always told you that I love pain.
I died and came back, to keep my promise. And now, it’s going on eight weeks , and all I

One year passed ...

That first bright step into the sunshine of life
begins with the opening of the family cocoon.
The caterpillar becomes a butterfly
spreading her wings into the world.
What she is today is but a tiny mirror.
of the transformation that is yet to come.
For with time, love, humor and warmth
She is an ever changing masterpiece.
Whether as wife, mother, career woman or all,
she will find her center of peace.
A place that is hers and hers alone,
the essence of what she is

Knowing how much you loved our family gatherings we all gathered today to celebrate your life and share our memories of you and give thanks for the time we had with you. It's almost a year since we last saw you. To say it has been a difficult year would be a gross understatement. We have missed you every minute of every single day, and no, the missing doesn't get any easier Honey.
