Eight Years and One Month Ago

Oh Mom, today makes eight years and one month since you passed away.
I miss you terribly.
You were my best friend and as well as my mother I loved you in both ways.
I think of how you treated me and how you cared.
I remember the day you ironed all of my stuff for me to prepare me for college.
It is a great remembrance of the Christmases we had.
I won't ever forget the time I got you the dishes,.
You wanted to know what was in the box.
You found out what it was and you were made glad.
There are other things that have happened that make me sad as to how I treated you.
I am so sorry and hope that you have forgiven me for them.
I remember one day I came so close to slapping you.
It was a great burden on my heart then and now for how I was.
There were so many times you needed to chastise me.
But you let it slip.
I wont' forget the times you did however.
I appreciate those times now and thank you for them.
How blessed am I to have had you for my mother!!
How blessed am I knowing that you taught me well.
My learning about manners has continued and I want you to know that.
There are so many memories that I could share with you but you know all of them.
May your day in Heaven have been a good one.
I hope that you have seen Dad by this time.
I know you are looking down upon both Ervin and myself.
Wishing for us to be where you are at our appointed times.
I will be there for I have put my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ervin remains unrepentent.
There are so many good days ahead and I want you to know I am happy for each one of them.
Love to you Mom and thank you for being my mother and my best friend.
I love you!!
