In my dreams,
I still hear your voice.
I still hear your laugh.
I still see your smile .
I still feel your hugs.
I still seek you guidance.
I am still with you.
Soon maybe
Soon I will be with your again
Until then my sweet mother
I will see you in my dreams
Thinking about you a lot today. I often speak to you asking for your advice. You could calm me when I was stressed. Mom I need you . Maybe see me in a dream? Love you forever....
I think about you everyday. I struggle with everything. How can you be gone? Why did everything happen the way it did? I hope you are still proud of me and I try to remember the lesson you taught me. I hope you and dad have the biggest fish pond in heaven and can work in your garden everyday. Miss you mom.
How do I even say what I need to. I am not doing well mom. I need you now more than ever . I know what is like to be truly alone in this world . No matter what I always had you . I find myself just wanting to go home to see you . Love you mom.
I miss the sweet melody that was your voice. Your silly jokes followed by hysterical laughter. The way you sung your own lullaby to me as a child . Tucking me in as an adult, as If I had not grown. I miss your Sunday dinners with fried chicken , mashed potato's, and grilled Brussel sprouts. I miss your temper at those who bothered me. Your mama bear defense came to me when sometimes it was not deserved . I miss your hugs and little kiss on my head. I tried to act cool but deep down I craved that attention . I miss you at my ball games and track meets . Always my biggest fan I never needed a trophy. I miss the way you corrected me when I was wrong, and praised me when I was right. I miss sitting and talking for hours about life. I miss watching you in the garden as you fought with the weeds. I miss your decorations,and how your cared about detail. I miss dancing with you with every Sunday as a boy . We cleaned house, and you made me do the twist because dad would not . I miss how you had our families pictures on every wall. You loved the grandchildren above all. I miss your phone calls when I was busy, and your patience when I had to go. I missy you mommy more than anyone could know . I know God has you with him now . I am jealous of the Angels. For though heaven was wonderful before it is more beautiful now that you are there. I Love You Mommy Johnny Larkin
