A tribute to; my mama. Because of you I know what unconditional love is. You were truly the best mother with the biggest heart. You would do anything for the ones you loved, and go to the end of the world for them and back and I’m sorry we didn’t always notice that. I would give anything to see you again. As the days go by the grief is less and less but I only miss you more and more each day. Navigating the world without my best friend is lonely and sad, I feel lost and like a part of my heart is gone. Although I know you’re always with me just in a different form. You truly had my back like no one else and because of that everyday I try to make you proud. Your love was unlike anything else on earth. Your family meant everything to you and you meant everything to us. You were the glue that kept us together. I miss our phone calls and sleepovers, I miss your guidance in life. You were such a kind soul with the realest advice. You were committed and dedicated to our family and nothing is the same without you or ever will be again. It’s a painful truth that you were taken away too soon, so soon that I didn’t even really get a chance to say goodbye, but I know with our unspoken bond that you already know in your heart how much I love you. I’m just grateful for the time we got to spend together, although I wish it was longer. I never imagined this happening and I’m still coming to terms with it all. Everything that I am is because of you and I owe it all to you for never giving up on me. When someone is loved unconditionally anything is possible! I know you wouldn’t want us feeling bad and the only thing keeping me going is knowing that I will see you again one day. It’s a comforting thought that what you once held in your heart will always be there and you can never lose. You deserved so much better but at least you didn’t suffer for long. One year without you has been a complete blur. One year closer to seeing you again and I’ll cherish your memories in my heart forever. We’re all missing you down here especially Little P and George. Sometimes I see you in my dreams, I saw you sitting on the couch in the living room while I was making us a snack, I was so happy to see you again that I just sat down and hugged you and held you for awhile. My sweet mother, you told me that the time was up and slowly faded away. It was so nice seeing your beautiful face and flowing hair I hope the dreams never stop. You were the person that mattered the most. Healing will be a lifelong process but I’ll do it for you. You were too good for this earth and now I have a guardian angel by my side. I am only just now understanding. The difference between your death and your absence. Your death was a singular event. But your absence will go on forever. I’ll be counting down the years until I see you again…
