Only Time and Tears

Not a day passes that I don’t think about my mother, and to be honest, there are still times when I feel it’s a lonely world without her.  

But today I pay tribute to the incredible woman she was and the beautiful memories shared in a garden of flowers as a reminder of how much her presence meant to me and my sisters. I know she’s in a better place watching over us with my brothers.

Just like the vibrant colors of the blooming flowers, my mother’s love has always brought beauty and joy to life. She will forever be our guiding star, I will carry the fond memories of that love with me eat and every day. 

I love you more than words can say…. until we meet again…
