You were like a real Mom to me.
When time and distance came between us
I never forgot you.

I always loved you and
carried memories of you in my heart.

Seeing your letters is precious to me,
but hearing your voice last night
just about broke me.

I know you are going Home,
so I will see you again... eventually.
But oh how I long to see you
at least once more in this life
and to wrap our arms around each other
just one more time.

I love you, Mom.
