Goodbye Mom, I Love You
I know this blog is a blog at MLBlog.com, but I can't find any other way to deal with what has just happened, other than writing.
Mom, I want to start by saying I love you. I feel like I never told you as many times you deserved it. I really did, and still do love you. You're all I knew for many years of my life. You raised me on your own, molding me into the man I am today. You had two beautiful daughters, and they loved you so much, mom.
You were such a strong woman, raising three kids, and putting each of them into college. You raised EACH of us on your own, not having the true support of a father there helping you to guide us, only you. You instilled values in us, gave us morals, and ethics that are second to none. You taught us how to love and how to be loved, and be strong.
You sacrificed some needs and all of the wants you had to provide for your children, which makes you the true definition of a great mother. You're heart was as big as the ocean, and you cared so much about everything that each of your children took part in. You wanted to hear about what was going on in their lives, how they were doing, and wanting to listen to anything they had to say.
You provided anything and everything each of your kids wanted, even though you never made much money. You showed me how to be a bigger person in many situations, teaching me the value of friendship and family.
I remember the last time I saw you mom, sleeping so sweetly on that bed, snuggled into your favorite light blue blanket that was so soft. You looked to happy there on that bed when I came in to say goodbye to you. Your arms were small but squeezed me tightly up against your gentle body, and the words "I love you, Nathan" escaped you mouth right by my ear which still echoes in my ear today. You told me not to cry as I left you, but tears streamed down my face because I knew I would miss you, but would at least have your voice to hear and come back and see you on the holidays.
It was so hard leaving you that morning, and I'm sorry that I did it now. Had I known what would have come, I would have never left you, mom. You were so important in so many peoples' lives. You never knew how much value your life and presence had on many people in this world, but you were always one to give a smile to someone exactly when they needed it.
I know you were sick, but I just wish you would have asked for help, because you never know, that last time might have been the time they cured your depression. I miss you so much, mom. You'll never know how much I miss you, and want to see you. I love you so much mom, and I'm sorry I never told you as much as I should have. I would have given anything for you to be happy, anything in the world.
I'd give anything in this world to just see your face one last time, hug you, tell you I love you, and at least get to say goodbye to you.
I hope your soul is at rest now, as you are the most deserving person to be at rest. You worried so much about everything, but please, let me know you're at rest now, not worrying about the next item in the house that would need to be replaced.
I love you momma, with all of my heart, and you will never know how much I miss you. You left me to soon, I'm only 20.
May you rest easily now, momma....I love you.
