Could I Miss You Any More???????????????????????

Hi Son,

You don't know how much I wish I could visit with you.  I miss your daily phone calls so much.  It seems like if you weren't lifting my spirits I was lifting yours.  I am so thankful that you chose me, this horribly imperfect person to be your mom.   You taught me so much.  Your example of how to endure through hardships will never be forgotten.  I can't believe all you went through in your short life.  I have only had to deal with your same stuff for a couple of years and it's hard.  I don't know how you were able to cope!!  I certainly do wish that you could give me some advice from your new perspective.  Life would be so much easier.  I love you son and I miss you so much.  Can't wait to see you and get a big bear hug.  xoxo peace.  p.s.  I think we are all forgetting to enjoy the moment.  Thank you for impressing that on us.   mom
