We love you Mom

Your kids are all grown up now

Trying to do what would make you proud

Its been almost 3 days now

But yet we still sit here in disbelief

This isn’t possible. It never happened

The woman who brought us into the world is gone gone forever

Why did you have to leave us so soon?

We still need you.  We still need our Mom

We will never understand why

There is no reason that will justify

But we know you are always in our hearts

and you will always be watching over us

We love you so much Mom….
