I Looked For You Today

Dear Mom, I looked for you today. I found you in the smell of coffee, as I passed our favorite café. I felt you in the cool breeze, that traveled fiercely up my spine. I put my face toward the sky and found you in the warm sunshine. I looked for you today, but I didn't have to look far. When I lifted my head up high, I found you in the stars. I will never stop looking, because I know you're always around. I know you have never left me, you're just waiting to be found. May 9, 2016

Hi Sandra, Thank you so much for the kind words. The loss of a mother is a pain I would not wish on even my worst enemy.

Give her a hug for me, or let her know how much she means to you! Never go a day without doing that. I regret every opportunity I failed to let my mom know what she meant to me.
