Quotes




I found one of these quotes and my friend shared the other quote with me, I love them!








If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you back again...



My daughter is a survivor, or so I've heard it said. But I can hear her crying at night when all others are in bed. I watch her lay awake at night and go to hold her hand, she doesn't know I'm with her to help her understand. But like the sands on the beach that never wash away, I watch over my surviving daughter, who thinks of me each day!



My sweet mom has been gone for almost 8 months, it seems so much longer than that. I thought it would maybe get easier with time, but its not. Sometimes it seems like it just gets harder- I struggle every day because I miss her so much! I wish she could come back, I miss talking to her. I miss the way she made me feel- she made me feel special, she always included me in everything and made me feel like I was so important to her. This is the hardest thing I have ever had to go through in my life. I realize how much I need her and how much she did for me. I hope I can be half the person she is- I hope I can be the kind of mom to my kids that she was for me and my brothers. I hope she knows how much I love her and how much I miss her everyday.
