Happy Mother's Day, Mom!

Even though I can’t see you, I can’t call you on the phone, or reach out and hug you, I still feel your presence. There isn’t a day that goes by, that I don’t think of you, that I don’t wish you were beside me to celebrate those little (or big) accomplishments.

Whenever I hear a John Denver song, I remember us singing aloud and turning up the radio. I remember you playing guitar at Crystal Lake, and shopping at Gimbel’s, getting stuck in the elevator. I remember your smile, your love.

These little, insignificant moments are memories I cherish.

Even though I lost you when I was six, I know you’re still with me and always will be.

I love you, Mom!
