Letters to Momma- 3- 9/11/2016


Today I remember how terrible it felt, how absolutely helpless, hopeless, devastatingly, soul crushing it was and has been at times. I remember your love, your laughter, your passion and your family values. Then I remembered... I do that everyday. But lately I've been reminding myself that time marches on and that all the little moments are so important and to embrace them as often as I can. That we can choose what this life will be for us. We can choose to see the beauty, the joy, the blessings. It's not always easy but we can do it. I'm so lucky to have my anchors that help keep me grounded and show me daily that love truly does conquer all. We're still fighting the good fight momma and carrying your love with us every step of the way! I miss you today like I do every day and I'll always and forever be glad you're mine. In the past 24 hours I've cherished and embraced some of your favorite things. I went to a family reunion, obviously not ours, but one I'm lucky and blessed to get to be a part of. I spent the evening singing and dancing with the love of my life to live music, also took a moment to just stand in front of the speakers and soak up the bass for Pops, snuggled with all my loves, played with Avery at the park, and watched your Lil' Man #24, our hero play some ball. And..... I felt you with me in every moment. Thanks for teaching me what life is really all about and the ability to smile with my whole heart while getting through the struggles. Love you Momma and glad you're mine.
