6 Years

Yesterday marked the 6 year anniversary since the day you left this world Mom. We have missed you every day since. A faintly pink hue clouded the early morning yesterday and it seemed so appropriate. Your presence was felt, but then again, it always is. Life here is ever changing, our family is always growing. We just wish so badly you could be here to share in all of the blessings. You are never forgotten though. When I look at my son, I just imagine how much joy he would bring to you if you could know him. And how much he would adore you. We are doing fine, but we would be even better if you were here. Today I thanked God that at least I will never have to lose you or say goodbye to you again. It seems like a strange thing to be thankful for, but I wouldn't want to go back to that time for anything. God carried us through that grief and allowed our lives to go on and brought us so much happiness since then. Someday I hope to run into your open arms when we are reunited in Heaven, and that will be the greatest gift. But in the meantime I will just try to live life and be the wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend that you raised me to be. Someone who would make you proud. I love you so much.
