Dear Mom,
It has been nearly six months since you left us and I miss you every single day. I catch myself thinking, just for a nanosecond, "I'll tell Mom!" I always wanted to tell you the news or any little tidbit of information that I thought you might like to hear and to hear your comments. I have discovered a website called familysearch.org, and oh, how I wish I had found it while you were here with us because you and I could have looked up family members from long ago. I even discovered that you are a blood relation to someone you thought was only an in-law, and not one of your favorites at that! That would have been too much fun. Thank you for being such a wonderful example of a woman with morals. While some people your age were having flings, you stayed home and behaved yourself. I can't even imagine what it would be like to have a mom who was sneaking around to see someone else. You taught us to enjoy reading, and writing. We learned to write letters, which is a dying art now that we have texting and doing one line comments on Face Book. You taught us to work. Thank you for that. You taught us to love and care for animals; all the cats and dogs could talk to you. I know they did because you told us what they said. You let us use our imaginations to create things. Most of all you taught Bible school and took us to Bible school. That was my foundation to a relationship with Christ and that is the most valuable thing that could have happened to me. I could go on and on.
I am so thankful that you were here with us for two good months, but I sure wish it could have been longer. I am thankful that I could be there those last few days and be there holding your hand when you drew your last breath. I know where you are now, and it is a blessing to know that you are not in pain, that you can hear, and see and that you are with Jesus Christ, and to know that I will see you again. Thanks for everything.
Love, Rosy
