Always in my heart, dear friend. Kevin
Great moms sing to you, give you coffee cups and cans and trucks and shovels and let you play in the dirt, cuddle you close no matter what age you are, light up with a smile when you walk in the room, tell you you are loved and capable and encourage you to spread your wings, make you feel at home every time you enter her home, soothe your sadness and fear when you’re a child and when you’re a grown-up, and leave you knowing you are loved, unconditionally, and eternally. My mom is one of the greats. Is, present tense. Her soul, her spirit, continues to live and love. I miss you, Mom, just because my ears cannot hear your voice and my eyes cannot see your face and my arms cannot feel your hug. But I know you are there, still watching over and loving me, like you always have done, just like you did when I stepped out the back door to go out and play. I love you.
