"Don't live your life waiting for me to die"
"You have the right to live your own life."
" I love you and will miss you"
these were your words to help me get through.
Now. mom here's my words to you.
You are my rock, my confidant, my best friend.
You were the person I ran to.
who always helped my heart to mend.
I always knew you'd always be there,
no matter what troubled my mind.
I'd find you sitting in your favorite chair.
I need that now, just one more time.
I'm coming to realize that you are still here.
I see your face when I see my own,
it's made me strong to overcome my fears.
I know now I will never be alone.
You were the one I've always turned to,
in all my times of need,
but mom your job here is through.
I've become the woman you knew I could be.
