Six Years and Eight Months Ago

Oh how the time swiftly passes, Mom.

It is is now six years and plus that you were taken away from me.

I love you today as I have loved you while you were alIive.

It is hard to do without you.

I know the lessons you taught me are still with me.

There is so much about you Mom that I remember.

Most of it was good and some not so good.

I know that you are still within my heart and always shall be.

There isn't a day but what I am able to see your picture and enjoy it.

There isn't a day that passes but what you are thought of lovingly.

I need to tell you something you already know and that is Karen

has gone for about three weeks.

I think it is great for her to get away from it all.

Ervin remains to be himself.

You know about him drinking and I am sure that saddens your heart.

It would be so much better if he would quit it.

I know that you would agree with that.

I now know what it was like the time I was drinking and how you disliked it.

I am sorry I put you through that.

There are alot of things I am sorry for but unable to change them now.

Glad that I learned from my mistakes,

There are so many things that were undone when you were alive that I failed to do.

I regret them too.

However one cannot go into the past and change the past.

I have to learn from the mistakes and go on and do better.

I love to talk to you like this.

It helps me to clear the air about things.

It was a sad day when I had to lose you.

It was a day I just as soon forget but cannot.

I know you are in a better place and a happier place.

I love you Mom and always will.
