I love you mom
It hasn’t even been two days and I already miss you so much. You weren’t just my mom but my very best friend. You were always who I went to for everything. I’m not sure how to live without you in my life. You took a piece of me with you when you left. You stayed so strong throughout and never faltered. Ur the bravest women I know. I know that ur at peace and I’m a better place now with lissa and dad. I’ll love you my whole life and I’ll always have u with me wherever I go. And I miss you always. I’ll see you on the other side of the stars mom. Love now and always -Tasha
