A Letter to My Mom

Dear Mom,
   Well another Mothers day is almost here, it has been 9 long Mothers Days without you. I feel so sad and lost, it's just not fare. I asked myself all the time why you, why did you have to die? I still sleep on your pillow and your blanket keeps my feet warm at night. I have a shirt of yours hanging in my closet and all the squares I cut out of your clothes for my quilt. I haven't had the time to make mine yet. Joey still talks about you, can you believe it he is almost 10. You know you have 4 more grandkids you never got to meet. They are great, you would have said I'm crazy but you would have loved all of them. You know that thing with Jim, well you were right. Mom did you know I am a grandmother, I have a beautiful little grandson and in November I will be a grandmother again, Nici is expecting and yes I gave her the curse. Sarah and Shawnda both have son's, that would make you a Great-Grandmother. Sometime I swear I hear your voice or see you in a crowd and every now and then I can still smell your Este lauder perfume. But it's just my wishful thinking that this was all a bad nightmare and when I wake up you will still be here. I know in my heart that you are watching out for us and you probably already know all of this but I needed to tell you anyway. Mom I miss you and love you . Happy Mothers day.


All my love,
Lisa
