Mom…
I thought of you with love today but that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday & days before that too.
I think of you in silence
I often speak your name
All I have are memories & your picture in a frame.
Your memory is my keepsake with which I’ll never part.
God has you in his keeping
I have you in my heart.
Love always

Roxane,
I was so sorry to hear about your mom. May God give you strength and comfort to get through this difficult time. Years after high school we reconnected but have again lost touch. I’d love to hear from you.
