A letter for MOM

Give cheer Give a Cheer

This is for the March journaling challenge, had to be something (sad) related. And losing my mother when I was only 19 was a very hard thing for me.. I altered a pic o her with photoshop and tucked a letter that I wrote for her inside the bottom left square block.

letter/journaling reads:

Dear Mom,

I miss you more than you know. Holidays are especially difficult. It's been 9 years since cancer took you away from me-yet it still feels like it was just yesterday. I'm glad you got to see my sweet Dylan at least once before you passed away. He was only a few weeks old that time you saw him. I saw the weakness in you eyes. I knew you didn't feel well, but you managed to light up when he was in your arms.. I saw the tears streaming down your face when we left to head back home - because I think you knew that would be the last time you would hold your only daughter's first born son.I didn't want you to see me tear up too, so I waited to let it out til' we got in the car. Dylan will be 9 years old next month- and since you passed, I have added a new addition to our family, Tyler. He will be 7 in July. I hope to add a little girl to the family someday.
Dylan is extremely smart, you would be so proud of him!! And he is small for his age, takes that after his mommy :) . Tyler is just a little sweetheart in every way and he has already outgrown his big brother. They ask about you often- "where you are", "why you died"? They are just too young to understand right now, and it's kind of hard to explain when I don't really understand it myself.. but I try.
Daddy still doesn't come around- so now my boys are having to grow up not knowing either one of my parents, and that breaks my heart. But they have Michael's parents to be there for them and they are wonderful. They spoil them rotten, just as I know you would!!
My wedding day was difficult without having you there. I wish you could've seen how beautiful everything was. Daddy was there to "give me away" . Little did I know it would be for good.
Michael is a wonderful husband and father.. We have had our ups and downs, but he is always there for me. He is my rock!! Without him and our boys, I don't know where I would be.
I love you Mama, I miss you dearly and I would give anything to have you here. I miss calling you for motherly advice, I miss laughing with you & I miss our phone calls. There are so many times when a daughter just needs her mother- and I don't have that. But writing you this letter helps ease some of the pain.

I love you,
your baby girl
