Your Day

I have this picture on my refrigerator and every time I see your face it warms my heart. This picture really captures the essence of you. The Joy in your smile, and the Love in your eyes. It's that Face and that Joy and that Love that I miss every day, but although you aren't here I can still feel your presence so strongly in my heart and your influence in my life. I can't wait to see you again someday. Mother's Day will never be the same without you, Mom. We are lucky to have other great moms in our lives to celebrate on Mother's Day, and some of us are or will be a mom that gets celebrated ourselves, but deep in my heart it's a day that will always center around you. The Mom I was so blessed to have had for 28 years. I will always, always be grateful for every day I had with you, and that God picked ME to be one of your daughters. I love you and miss you so much. Mother's Day and every day.
