Hi Mom,

Well it hasn’t been a year yet since you left us, but I miss you and wanted to write to you again. I was going to wait till your one year anniversary,but I changed my mind. It’s been eight months since you left us and went home to be with the Lord. I miss you every day mom. Doesn’t seem to matter where I am or who I’m with, I still miss you. I miss hearing your voice. I miss hearing you call me “Kath”. I miss you teasing me. I really missed you on my birthday last month, listening to you tease me about getting older.  You would always give me soft punches on my shoulder every year on my birthday. That would have been a lot of punches this year, but I would have gladly taken them. There is ALWAYS something that reminds me of you.

I will be honest with you and tell you the pain isn’t like it was when you first left us. It is still there though and I don’t think it will ever go away. You know mom, I’m finding myself saying things to my husband now that I’ve heard you say so many times to dad. I do certain things and realize, hey mom use to do that.

We had our first Holiday with out you at Easter time. It just wasn’t the same with out you. Before you know it Thanksgiving and Christmas will be here. I just know I’m going to feel the pain of you not being here to celebrate with us. It hurts to see dad with out you, mom. The two of you were always inseparable.

I know your having a grand time in Heaven with God and Jesus, but I just wanted to let you know I am really missing you here. I see you every so often in my dreams. Your always smiling in them. Well I just wanted to let you know I miss you and I love you. I always will.

miss you
