Kitty In Vegas's blog: "Love for my Mama"

Today is Mother's Day number 2 without my mom, it has been a very difficult day. I so badly wish that i could have called my mom up and talk to her, but i knew it couldnt happen. Its a very hard realization for me knowing that i can only speak to my mom through my heart, but never on the phone again. She is missed so dearly. She was a very large part of my life and i could never imagine going a day without thinking of her. Some people that knew my mom have told me that there are things that i do that remind them so much of my mom. Its kind of ironic, cause when you are younger you always tell yourself that you could never imagine being like your parents when you get older (well at least i did), and yet as you grow older you start to do little things just like they did. My mom will forever be remembered in my heart and mind and in my family. My kids will always know who she was.

I miss you so very much Mom. Happy Mothers Day.

She was my best friend. The one I could talk to about anything and everything. She always understood me even when I made no sense at all. She always know how to make me laugh when I was having a bad day. She always knew how to make me feel better when I didn't feel good. She was always there when you needed a shoulder to cry on or a rock to stand on to be strong. She always told you how it was, she never sugar-coated anything. She would out-right tell you if a decision was right or wrong or smart or stupid, whether you liked her answer or not she didn't care, she was just honest. She was always there when you needed a friend, and she was always there when it was time to be the mom. She always knew the right things to say and the right ways and times to say it. She was always phone call, short drive, or short walk away. She was always there when you needed her the most. I could go on for days about all the things that Mama was. But now mama is gone, but will always be in my heart, my mind, and my thoughts. She fought a long, hard fight with cancer and unfortunately she lost that fight. But she will NEVER be gone from me. In loving memory of my mom who lost her battle with cancer on 5-25-2007.
