As the pages turn the memories flood through our minds. Such Joy, yet such sadness in so many days filled with living life. A special time being looked for to share the remembrance. Suddenly, tears start to flow as the pain and the loss is temporarily overwhelming. Reality sets in that its been 27 years since you left us.So many pictures of loved ones and barely your beautiful face to be found. You left us earlier than remembered. Too early a life cut short. Your presence felt daily and your love surrounds us. Faith tells us that things are as they should be but our hearts can only think of the moments that have taken our breaths away and as we turn to tell you, you are not to be found standing next to us. Thankful always for the days that you blessed our lives. We will continue to look for your spirit you left in each one of us. Your spirit that has molded us and gave us wisdom to remember where our strength in this world comes from. You will always be MY BEST FRIEND, MY TEACHER, MY ROLE MODEL AND THE WISEST STRONGEST WOMAN I HAVE EVER KNOWN. WE LOVE AND MISS YOU MOM...THANK YOU FOR THE WIND BENEATH OUR WINGS!
