I need some time alone so I can cry until I have no more tears.

Not cry for my Mom, but for me because she’s forever gone from my life.

But, is she? No, I don’t think so. I hear her in things I say, I see her in the mirror,

I feel her in my heart. She’ll live on in me and through me in the things she taught me

and in the way I look at life and the people in it. Always looking for the best in

others and in all situations. Showing compassion to people, animals, and the world.

Being content when you have enough. Always trying to make someone’s day brighter and better

because I’m in it. No, she’s not forever gone from my life – she’s here in everything

I do.
