Dear Mom,
Today marks the anniversary of the day you died six years ago. It seems like just yesterday you were here. I remember the day exactly, the time, the place I was standing when Dad called. I remember it all.
I am sure you have been watching over us like a hawk. We can feel you, the kids talk about you all the time. Which is a bit odd since Porter was less than a year old when you died. Jack has even mentioned that you are wearing tennis shoes in Heaven. How would he know that unless he saw you? We’ve never mentioned it before.
You would be so proud of your daughters. Sara and Lindsay have become beautiful, caring middle aged ladies with hearts of gold. Can you believe Sara is a Mom?! And she loves it?! And she’s a great one. And Lindsay got married and bought a house?! I know. Hopefully she won’t kick in any of these doors.
Dad is doing okay. He misses you, but he bought a Harley and got a new tattoo. So, he’s found a few hobbies.
I’m sure you had a hand in making my little family a family of four boys! We all know you wanted at least one boy! So, you must be pretty darn friendly with God, since you got your wish of having all boys as grandchildren!
I miss you every single day. My memories of you when you weren’t sick are starting to fade, and that makes me sad. Although my memories of you being sick are starting to fade too, so I guess that is a blessing. And, we all know I have a crap memory anyway.
I love you and miss you.
Kirsten

What a wonderful tribute, Kirsten! Hugs!
My mom also died 6 years ago today (I e-mailed you once when I first found your blog about the coincidence – don’t know if you remember). I stopped at the cemetery on my way to work this morning and placed a yellow rose and told her that we do remember and haven’t forgot. Sometimes it seems like forever ago that we lost her and sometimes it feels too fresh, like today. I am so sorry that we share this date for this reason.
what a blessing to have had such a wonderful relationship with her to have written this special note years later…she musta been a wonderful momma.
such a special post…
What a sweet love letter to your mother. I think no matter how old we are, we still always need our moms. She would be so proud of you. Sending you a big hug today!
Kirsten,
Your words brought tears to my eyes. But of course as we mark an anniversary like today, my eyes are often filled with tears. When you are here we will laugh and cry while sharing memories of your mom and keep her alive within us all, always. I love you.
Kirsten, What a beautiful tribute to a beautiful woman. I learned so much from her and enjoyed her humor and her knowledge. She was a blessing to everyone she came in contact with- whether it was work, play or family. I miss her and so do my children! Love Lisa
Beautiful
So sorry your mom is not here with you…although in spirit. (and, I must have missed boy #4? Congrats!)
This really touched my heart. My mother is still with us and I call her every day. I’m calling her twice today after reading your post today.
