My Dearest Mom

Although she has transcended this existence and the same cosmic space we no longer share, In my heart Mom will forever and always have a place of honor there. There's not a moment or a day that goes by that I don't think of her or mentally speak her name. And though not a physical presence, she is, as always, by my side guiding me just the same. Some may think I'm crazy when they see me talking and laughing when it's only myself that they see. But what they don't realize is my conversation is the enjoyment of someone else beside me. Just as when she was physically here, she still greets, warns, and advise. For me to ignore this communication would be both foolish and unwise. As the years of my life start to pile up and I look more like Mom in my mirror, and as my own children grow older, suddenly all of her lessons taught to me are more understandable and the messages so much clearer. Yes, My Dear Mom, though she is no longer with me in a physical form, She is forever present, as from the beginning of my life, keeping me safe and warm.
