missing mom

today is a special day.
a day of happiness and sadness.
6 years ago today, i was privileged to be present with my mom when she left this earth.
she waited 3 long days for me to arrive, and i will never forget how she reached out to me just before she passed.
what an act of love.
a beautiful gift, so full of a mother's love.
by far, the best gift i have ever received.
that was mom.
through all of life's struggles, she remained dedicated to her family and full of her faith in God.

was she perfect?
no.

was she just as she should be?
yes.

i love you, mom.
and i miss you EVERY SINGLE DAY.
