~Missing Mom~

Dear Mom,

Three years ago today you were released from your mission here on earth and returned home to our Heavenly Father, Savior, your son Adam and many other family members. I can't believe that it's been 3 years. In many ways it seems like it was yesterday. My life seems so empty without you here and yet I've been blessed with 2 beautiful grandbabies to help fill that emptiness. I miss our talks on the phone and your encouragement of me, my family and my responsibilities. I've felt you near me several times since you left us - mostly when there is beautiful music involved. I'm grateful that you don't have to suffer anymore and I just want you to know that I appreciate all the things you taught me in my life. You gave me a wonderful childhood and taught me to love the Lord and live His gospel. I love you and miss you!

Love,

Your little girl, Melanie
