I wrote this to read at my mom's funeral, but knew I would never get through it without crying...typing it is much easier!
***
For those that knew her, loved her, for those that didn't, wanted to know her. She had a smile that could light up any room. She had a laughter that made you laugh. Her touch was always soft and her voice was always tender.
She was a remarkable wife, mother, daughter, sister and most of all grandma. She loved life - she always loved to do things that were spur of the moment...I thought she was crazy, but she knew how to make it sound wonderful.
She had a heart full of love and made sure every person felt it. She was my best friend, she was everything I wanted to be. She thought I was perfect even though I have many flaws. She loved me unconditionally no matter what I said or did.
There is a hole in my heart that can never be filled and an ache in my body that will never go away. My mother is in heaven looking down at me and touching me in so many ways and telling me she loves me, but until I see her again...my life will not be complete.
I love you Mom and miss you so badly. You weren't only my mother you were my best friend!

Well, I thought typing this would be easier, but I still had to wipe away my tears. Sometimes we take for granted that people will always be in our life. I miss her so much...my heart truly hurts every time I think of her. It's been four very long years without her. Yes, my day to day life is easier as time passes, but it those times when I want to pick up the phone and call her and I can't. It's the days I want to go shopping or scrapbook with her and I can't. I have to spend the rest of my life without my mother. My kids have to grow up without their grandma.
Sometimes I wonder if my Mom is proud of me and the things I've accomplished over these last 4 years. I hope she looks down on me and realizes that I'm trying to be the daughter that she always wanted. I still have three great parents left and I cherish them and make sure I tell them every time I talk to them that I love them! So, if you still have your Mom and you get angry, frustrated or mad at her, remember you only have ONE Mom!

I had to wipe tears from my eyes.
She is proud of you! She always was. And always will be. She is watching, and she is proud of the things you've done in the past four years. You can know that because she taught you the things that make you wonderful woman and taught you to make great choices and those choices have led you to the life you're living today...and that's how you know she would be proud of you and your entire family.
Hugs!

Hi Cindy... what a touching and heartfelt letter you wrote to read at your Mom's funeral. It doesn't seem like it's been four years. I know you still miss your Mom and it always pulls at my heartstrings. Always know that she was and is proud of you. You are a great person and bring so many great things to those around you. Take care, you're in my thoughts.
