Honorable Mention June 8, 2024
My dearest Mom, now fifty-two years gone- although to me, it seems like yesterday. You were too young to leave this Earth at dawn that dark, regretful, cold September day. I feel your presence more than I can say because I know your spirit lives in me- yet miss together times I hoped would be had not, your death left each of us alone. Dear Mom, please know that not a day does flee that I don't miss the smile and love I've known.
