Mom I love you so much. I know that Jesus is with you and so is Silas, Liesel, Rita, Trudy, and Andrew. This is unbelievable to me and really hurts me to my soul. I will never understand nor have a stronger motivational person in my life than you. You triumphed through so much and made it through so many hard times that some will never know. I'm inconsolable mommy and I will miss you till my dieing day. I love you.

Mom it’s been a year and a day since you departed and I have not forgotten you for 1 day. I remember the way you went out of your way to make things special and memorable. The way you said, “Daddy!!” to gramps when you’d show up at the house or the apartment when we lived in Chicago. Nothing is the same without you. Something in me died when I lost you. I never knew the right things to say to you. I played jokes on you that I thought would make you laugh but caught you off guard to the point it made you like “why?” I sometimes ask myself if you knew I loved you as much as I know I do. I miss you every single day. Wish you were just a few towns over still living and carrying on. I sometimes hope that phone will ring and you will say “Boogz, what you doing? I’m on break and just wanted to know how you and daddy are?” I miss that. I miss you mommy

Mom, not a day goes by. Sometimes not even a waking hour even; that I don’t have a memory of you and a wish to sit and speak with you again. So much has become now what you said to me you were hoping would not be after you were no longer here. I just wanted to say I have done my best to do the things you requested of me when you would take time and visit me when heading home from work. I failed at some things you requested. Some of those things are beyond my abilities. Every day I still give it my best. I remember you for being such a caring Teacher both as a mother and when you went to Northeastern and afterwards when you got your degree. I remember you telling me how political the professional teaching environment was and how hard it was to remain a teacher for the children at any 1 school. Teaching children mattered to you more than all the negative seniority political stuff of being at a school. I am sorry I told you things would be ok when they were so hard on you. You really were a Hero for those kids and your children as well. In life I was never able to tell you that but I always felt it. So many things have changed, and I do not talk to anyone really anymore. I do know that despite those that were all part of our family not still knowing me or me knowing them that your imprint of Love and Care is on us all. It may not be the same for everyone but I know it is strong within me. I miss you every single day and many times throughout the day as well. My love for you mom is strong as it was when you were here. I just wish I had become the man I am now and been able to express and tell you my feelings before you had left this world. I mourn your loss so much. It really hurts me. I know it always will. I’m sorry I didn’t have the insight to speak to you during those months after Silas passed and I was upset. I feel we both missed out because of my stupidity of learning how to hold a grudge from our upbringing. I’m thankful for that last visit we had a day before you went to go get tested for Covid. I am thankful most of all because I got to tell you I love you. I really do mom, and I miss you endlessly. I was so sure when I prayed for you when they walked out of the room that our Creator would keep you with us here in “Life.” I was even willing to help you regain whatever you might have lost motor skills wise after you awoke from the Coma. The same way you helped me after I was hit by that car and awoke out of my Coma. I’m still in disbelief even though I’ve been to your grave many times that your gone. I wish it wasn’t so. I miss you and love you mommy.

Mom I still never stop missing you. I do not think any child would stop missing their parent. I accomplished some things you told me you wanted for me. I’m still pushing forward ahead as you told me I could do. It’s strange how I look back and remember how confident you were in my abilities and I was not. I met a couple a few months ago and the wife of the couple reminded me of you. She always was uplifting in her words and belief in me as a person to achieve and be better. It was almost like you were speaking through her. 2 weeks ago we stood out in the cold while her husband who usually also speaks with me got in their vehicle and she just listened as I spoke catching her up on what’s going on with my new goals and achievements. It was one of those things that made me feel like somehow you were still here. This last weekend I found out she passed away. I must admit it was a deep hurt inside me, because she reminded me so much of you and I still am sad. It’s the same month that you left this world and I still miss you so much. I always still don’t want to believe it’s true. I know you said no person lives forever. I wish that was not true. I miss all of you, Grandma, and Silas. The one thing I can tell you is I treasure every moment you took time out for me. I never even back before you left this world did not appreciate it. I wish you were still here so badly. Many things are different even for me and I think you Grandma and Silas would be proud of me. I’m not perfect and we all know that but I am a better person. You were right about many people and things that you said to me. I wish I had listened to you then. But I think I’m getting better at listening to your advice mom. I don’t know what you would be like today, but I do know I love you Grandma and Silas still and will always. It’s really saddening to me that I was so hard headed and really hard to deal with when I was younger for you. I am sorry for that, but somehow you managed to still love me which I both appreciate and wish I could take back. Just know I am not that person anymore and I even find myself at times talking out loud to you when I’m alone. Silas and Grandma too. As much as I wish it, I’m kind of glad I do not hear answers back because then I’d think I was crazy lol (you always enjoyed humor like that). I truly miss you momma as I have since you first went into hospital. That has never changed. I really thought I’d have a chance to show you a better me. Now I just have to be that better me as I have been. I love you and I will revisit you all soon. This is not goodbye, but a way I cope with losing you 3.
