Dear, Mama. For as long as I can remember, it was always just the two of us. You were not only my mother and my best friend, you were my companion. Sure, we lived with relatives from time to time, but you were the one person constant in my life. My entire world was wrapped up in you. We laughed together, we cried together, we fought together. We went to the movies together, we went out to eat together, we went shopping together. We were inseparable. When you left us six years ago, my world shattered to pieces. I felt as though a limb had been severed. I felt like I could not go on living. I could not even go to God for consolation because nothing and nobody made me as happy as you did. I still have not come to terms with your absence; I’m not sure I ever will. My head tells me that you are in Heaven, with our Lord, with our relatives, happy and free from that awful cancer. My heart won’t accept it. I pray every day that this is FINALLY the day when I’ll open up my heart to God. I know He is the only one who can help me understand. I miss your scent. You always smelled like Beautiful, peppermint gum and hairspray. I miss your laugh. It was always so hearty and soulful. I miss your smile. You would instantly receive a smile back; it was so warm and genuine. I miss your hands. Your single touch would instantly make me feel better. I remember you rubbing my hair to soothe me. I miss your cooking. Nobody can do it better than you; although, Chica is pretty close. I miss your voice. You don’t know how many times I’ve wanted to call you to share some good news, to tell you some bad news, to ask for your advice or just to hear your voice. Most of all, I miss YOU. You were the epitome of a great mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin and friend. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you. Although you are gone, you are still very much a part of my life. Thank you for the person you were, the legacy you left behind and for all of the sacrifices you made. Even in your last days, you endured so much pain just to be there with us – just to make sure we’d be ok. I love you, and I miss you so much. Moo, Mama. Moo!
