I miss you dearly my sweet beautiful mama. I love you so much. So so much. Insane how much time has passed that I haven’t seen your face, heard your laughter, and felt your warm embrace. Not a day goes by that you are not on my mind, not a day goes by that I don’t miss you and wish you were still here. I love you so very much 😘 You are my sky angel 😇 although that brings me comfort it is simply not the same as actually having you. I miss you so so so much. I love you!
