Happy Mother?s Day Mom:

As I gaze back on my life, I find myself wondering ?…? Did I remember to thank you for all that you did for me?? Did I remember to thank you for all the times you were there for me when I needed your advice, your support, your encouragement and your love?? Did I thank you often enough for the values you taught me or just the simple things in life that we shared.? What about all our moments together … the laughter when I mimicked something that took place in our lives.? I will never forget your laughter during these times.

Mom, I feel very fortunate on this Mother?s Day to be able to acknowledge what a special Mother I was blessed with.? Even though you are not here, I will always remember you and feel your presence and guidance throughout my life. ?I am hoping you always knew that I was appreciative of everything you did for me whether I expressed it or not.? So I thank you from the bottom of my heart and I thank God for blessing me with such a wonderful Mom!? YOU??…? I will never forget.? I feel you are with me at all times!? Love you Mom and will continue to miss you.

Love you much ?

Your daughter,

Mom -?

I miss you so much, nothing is the same since you left us one month ago today. I keep thinking I am having a bad dream, that I will wake up, and you’ll still be with us.? Mom, you were the best Mom, and my friend. I know you are at peace, no more pain, no more worries. I didn’t want you to leave; I think of you everyday; my heart is broken. I know I’ll see you someday in heaven with your arms wide open to welcome me home.?? Love You, Sophia

Dear Mom:

A month has gone by and I am missing you.? Little did I know on the morning of March 30th, God was going to call your name and take you home. Losing you has created an instant loneliness … an emptiness that can never be filled. Pain and sorrow constantly persist, but my faith will keep me strong. You will be part of me always!

Our family’s chain has been broken, but we must remember as God calls us one by one our chain will link once again. There is another song called, I’ll See You Again by Westlife ? it says it all.

Love you much –

Mom:

The family will never be the same now that you are gone but I am trying my best to focus on the positive facts of life.? Thanks to God we had you for nearly 90 wonderful years and the memories are endless.? My favorite memories are when we lived on Big Branch out in the middle of no-where.? What a wonderful place to grow up and if knew then what I know now I would have probably enjoyed it even more.

You were 26 in August of 1948 and I was born in December, the fifth child.? I remember you telling me it was a cold morning when I was born.? You also told me that I was a happy baby and you used to feed me crackers and milk to supplement the breast feeding.? To this day I still love crackers and milk.

I fondly remember all the food we grew and canned, green beans, tomatoes, sugar beets, cabbage, cucumbers and the list goes on.? We picked every berry known to man, strawberries, blackberries, rasberries (Dad’s favorite), huckleberries, blueberries and you canned or made juice from everyone we picked.? Did we ever do some fancy eating?

I could go on and on but I just wanted to tell you what a wonderful Mother you were.? We could have ordered a special Mother and not done as well as having you.? I also wanted to tell you that we miss and love you dearly.? I miss your hugs the most as they were some kind of special hugs.? We will try to live our lives fully here on earth and look forward to joining you in Heaven.

Your Loving Son,

Willard Short
