You are missed, Mom

Graphic by Bruna Costa

Summer is finally ending, and we’re going into early fall. My heart is full of hurt and sorrow from the laughs and talks we had. You were my best friend, my heart, my soul. I would call you any time for you to listen to my problems, or yours. I miss the visits. When you got sick, my heart really went astray. I wish I could have done more. This year is very upsetting without you and your smile. I took care of you the best way that I could, but you were in pain, in ambulances non-stop, short of breath. You gave up eating and drinking water. The cancer had spread rapidly, and you could no longer speak or talk. The morphine kept you from that pain. When I last saw you in February, you were looking very well and you had not yet lost your taste. Mom, I miss you this upcoming fall. You are in Heaven rejoicing with Dad. I love you forever Mom.
