9 years and I still really miss her

It's impossible for me to believe that today marks 9 years since my mom died. She would have been 53 right now. I wonder what my mom would have been like in her fifties. We've kept on living just like she would have wanted us to...I finished college, got a good job and bought a house; my sister got married; my brother graduated high school and started college; my dad got remarried and my stepmom is wonderful. But still there is a part of me that feels like nothing will ever be quite right because she isn't here. She really was the glue that held us all together.

I love you mom, and I miss you.

I didn't know your mom but I'm sure she passed on her amazing strength and courage to you. She would be very proud of the amazing daughter she gave birth to.

I am sorry for the loss of your mother. I agree with the previous poster: She is very proud of you and who you are and you honor her every day by living your life in a good and positive way.

Thinking of you and your mom today. . .

Jen- I am sorry your mom isn't here to see how wonderfully you've turned out. But I do believe that she knows & sees & is so proud.
