MaMa
You Truly are the love of My life
You have always been there for me, When I was sick you always knew the right thing to say, The right song to sing to ease me to sleep, Or just the right way to hold me as we rocked.
I am proud when people say how much I look like you because to me there is no other lady that could match the beauty inside and out. I wish I was as strong as you for you have been a rock for charlene and I. When things were bad you seem to find a way to make things better no matter what you had to do and I love and thank you for that. You made me special even though you think of it as a scar that you caused I think of it as My mark from My mom she has one too. You have been through so many ups and downs but you always seem to make things special for us. No we didn't have all those name brand things and get to do all the things other kids did But they didn't have the love that you gave which In My book makes it their loss because their love was bought ours was given to us by the look that was in your eyes knowing we held each gift from you special because it was given out of love no matter what the means you had to do to get them.
We remember so many things you told us growing up I guess that's why you are so special to us you taught us how to be honest loving people not to use and be thankful for the things we did have not to envy others because in time if God wants us to have them we will. But I think He gave us the best In the world when he gave us YOU! I guess this is why He wants you with Him now where He can see how Great a woman you are and where you can be with your family again. I just don't think He knows just how hard this will be for us to not have you in our lives, You will always be in our hearts.You gave us life so you will run through us always. I know I haven't always done the right thing by you for that I am sorry and hope you forgive me. We tend to think we are grown and know everything and can do everything Yes I also know we got mad when you said you knew what was right for us but you said ok do as you wish then it turned out sometimes that well yes you did know what was best But like you said "Hard heads are made to soften"
I realize we aren't the only people to have lost their mom's but You are the only Mother we have ever had and to lose you will be a massive loss in our hearts I know this sounds selfish but what am I gonna do without hearing you call my answering mashine and say " Hey Baby It's Ya Mama" Who's gonna catch the kisses through the phone, Who's gonna let me sit in her lap and give her kisses on the cheek and tell me " I love you Baby always remember that" What in the world is the Braves going to do without you?
I know you always said from when when we were teens "Mama's not gonna always be here" I guess I just didn't believe you. What on this earth could take such a strong loving beautiful woman away from two daughters that loves her so very much. I only hope Mama that you know WE love you so very much always have and always will.
I will try My best to stay the person you raised Loving,Caring,Strong,and proud of who I am and where we came from which is a Lovely lady simply named MAMA
