Today I greet you all with a very heavy heart. I am 26 years old, a wife and about to become a mother for the first time. But, as I enter into motherhood, I do so alone: my mother passed away unexpectedly on the 7th of February. I didn't think that it was possible for my soul or heart to break into so many pieces, and to ever feel this much pain and sadness. She passed away peacefully... and knew about her grandson. When I walked into her home for the first time after she had passed away, I cried, I cried hard. But, after that (and a few more spells of crying), I felt comforted being as close to her as I could be, in her home.
A little bit about my mom:
I am her only child
She was always so young and vibrant
She loved light, color and music
She never felt the need to follow any trends, she liked what she liked.
She had a beautiful appreciation for art of any kind
She had gorgeous blue eyes that sparkled
She loved cats and animals
She loved the cosmos, moon and stars
She was strong, both physically and otherwise (I know this because, she'd wrestle with me and always kick my butt).
And, she loved me with all of her heart and soul...
She lived in San Jose, California, but she now lives in heaven and in my heart, and in turn will live in my son's heart.
I love you mom, you and I always will, I'll never forget you.
If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
I thought that I would miss you so, and never find my way.
And then I heard the angel say "She's with you every day."
"The sun, the moon, the wind, the stars, will forever be around,
reminding you of the love you shared, and the peace she's finally found."
And then I heard the angel say "She's with you every day."
"The sun, the moon, the wind, the stars, will forever be around,
reminding you of the love you shared, and the peace she's finally found."
Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us every day.
Unseen, unheard, but always near; still loved, still missed and very dear.

If your mother is still in your life, tell her how much you love her, tell her how important she is to you, it will mean so much to her as well to you, because one day, it may be too late.
