Old woman,
I miss you so much. I don't know how I am going to get through this. Paisley misses you and loves you so much. She keeps asking why you had to go to heaven. I tell her God needed someone to do his dishes lol. And she says he could have waited. Give papa and dad a hug for me. Watch over us and protect us. I love you more then Reese cups.
My Mom, best friend, the one with the solution to all my problems, the place i always called home! i miss you! i miss you funny phone messages, i miss seeing you stand there by the mailbox with your thumb out when i pick you up and your "THANKS FOR THE RIDE LADY" when i drop you off!! haha, finding notes from you everywhere. i dont know what i will do without you! the one person who is ALWAYS thete! never too tired(when i knew better) to listen to me or too busy to help me. i know you are in good hands and finally have the peace and rest that you have earned. a tough life and three kids on your own, no time for your self and us tuggin at you 24/7 but i dont remember one time EVER that we didnt feel LOVE from you. i hope my children can say i loved them the same! you taught me the most important thing i needed in life. The only thing that counts in the end is how much love you left. not money or things. Just Love! I love you more than fishing Mommy dearest ! Thanks for the ride lady!
