I know how difficult it is to dedal with this sorrow but isn’t it great knowing that while you wish your mother was here on earth with you, what you have is something far greater – you have another guardian angel in heaven watching over you and loving you even more. The faith that was instilled in each of you will carry you through until you can hold her in your arms again and say ‘mom I love you forever and ever’ and forever and ever will really be forever!
Love to you all
