mommy

mommy,

i miss you already. i came by the house today, and in its emptiness, i saw you sitting on the couch knitting your next project; and in the mist of this emptiness, i relived my childhood, my young adult life, and the beginning of my adult life. i felt the tears as they slowly poured down my face, and wished that i could hug you one more time.

i know you aren't gone, you just a little further away, and closer to the Cowboys. But still you aren't here with me, which is way to far.

i can still smell the German Chocolate Cake you are baking, and the vanilla plug ins you have in the wall. i can hear Dad walking down the hall with his house shoes on asking if you're done yet. i can hear the foot ball game on in the back round, but i much prefer your humming as you put icing the cake.

i still wish to hug you when i walk though the door, but i know that's not going to happen for a long time.

i miss you asking me if i am hungry, and tell to go dig through the fridge. i miss you sticking dollar bills in my purse when i'm not looking. its just i really miss you.

if i haven't told you enough, i love you with all my heart. God gave me the greatest mother i could have ever asked for. i thank you for everything you have every done for me, and everything you will continue to do for me. thank you for giving me life, and love me. i hope i get to visit you soon.


Love your only daughter,

me.
