I send this special message to you, Mom;
Hoping you can hear what I say.
I always thought you would be with me.
Helping me to grow day by day.
I never once dreamed I'd say good-bye.
Nothing seems fair in this tragedy.
I wanted you to hold my grandchildren ...
Give them the love that you gave me.
I think about you with every passing hour.
Only God knows how I miss you.
It's just a bond between a Mom & daughter ...
A bond that can never be torn in two.
I feel that you're watching me from above.
Seeing the things that I do here.
That seems to help me survive each day, Mom;
Just knowing that you're always near.
I watch other women with their Moms.
And I sure long to be in their place.
But there is a beauty that only we share.
And it shines on your loving face.
And, now as I think back over the years,
there are incidents that I recall.
But loving you & you loving me, Mom ...
That's the greatest memory of all.
