I miss you.  You gave me life. You were my protector, my teacher, my mentor, my moral compass, my comfort.  I feel so alone without you.  No one worried about me the way you did.  No one loves me the way you did.

Please forgive me for the times I caused you pain and for the times I took you for granted.  I can't begin to fathom all the scarifices you made for my sake.

I want to thank you for all the ways you blessed my life.  Nothing can replace the gaping hole your death has left in my life.  But mixed together with all my sadness there is a great joy for having known you.

I will remember your smile, your touch. I will remember your laughter, your kindness, your generosity, your determination, your love.

Thank you for the time we shared, for the love you gave, for the wisdom you spread.  I will always treasure the lessons you taught me.  I will carry them with me all the days of my life.  I am so proud to be your child.

Mayb God watch over you and bless you with gentleness and love.  As you blessed me.

~Amen~

Hi again. I posted a poem I wrote about my mom on homesteadblogger.com/kcmom and some pictures of her in honor of Mother's day. I do miss her too. Love reading your posts - my 2 are 13 & 16 now - we've always homeschooled - it would be much trickier doing it with infants, but lots do. jill
