When I lost my dad I was devastated, even though he had health problems (same ones I share). He was taken from us to soon. To this day, if I see something that I know dad would have liked, I sometimes think to myself, "can't wait to tell dad about that", before it dawns on me that I can't tell him just yet. It then occured to me one day, that even though I can't speak to him, he is *ALWAYS* with me and sharing in those moments, even though I may not be able to tell him in person.
Before your mom passed, you spent a lot of time with her I'm sure, but just think, now you spend every moment with her, even if just in spirit, she is as close as ever.
As for you, you're a beautiul girl, inside and out.
Thank you for the phone call the other day, it really did cheer me up (as always).
