I know how difficult it is to lose a parent when they have been part of the template that is you for so long, but that place within you that was always filled with your love for them and your memories of them, after a time, you will find that it never goes away. Your mother will always be with you. Know that she will always love you from wherever she is and whenever the need is greatest, she will be giving you the hugs you need most. You are the best of her hopes and dreams, and I can tell you that she as very proud of you and you family, because you have made a great life for all of them, and that is all a mother wants of her kids. To be happy and loved and be great at whatever you do. She was very proud of you and she always will be. Moms are like that, even when they aren't there. It will get easier. I love you aunt Cindy. We all do :)##imported-begin##kim utterback##imported-end##
