Hi Mama…

It’s been a while…I wanted to tell you that I Love You and Miss You very much!

There have been soooo many times that I’ve needed you more than ever. Most times it’s when my girls have reached milestones or have been recognized for academics or even when the not so good days happen. I guess I’ll never be too old to still need my mom.

How did you get through life’s toughest times mom? How did you make it look so easy? I needed to channel you on different occasions because I needed your love, I needed your strength, I needed your faith and I needed your patience and understanding…Life is the hardest thing to navigate. I’m learning that…

“You don't pick your pages that’s how the story goes and this life is what you make it, it’s out of your control its almost like you're screaming but no one hears your voice cause everything is changing”

I wish you were still here…I miss your voice, your smell, your laugh but what I wish for most is that you would’ve had the opportunity to meet my girls…they’re pretty great kids.

Please continue to watch over us and guide us…I Love You! Miss you more than know!

Hi, Grams. Thinking of you today and remembering this day 12 years ago. Despite how hard it was losing you, I celebrate your life, legacy, teachings, and love. I can still smell you and hear your voice… I just wish I could hold your hands again or do your nails and dye your hair or just go and have coffee with you. I miss you and I love you! Godspeed, Nana!

+Ari… Your Rana

9 Years ago today God called you home. He needed you more than we did, but we had you for as long as we needed too. You meant so much to so many people, our lives forever changed the day you left. I think of you all the time, you’re never forgotten in my home. Your granddaughters know how special you are, and how I wish they could’ve met you :( I miss you mom and I Love You beyond words!!

Hi Mom...
Goodness! (8) years already. Amazing how time flys. You’re missed more and more. I miss you mom :’( It’s like the healing process is still ongoing. I guess I will never truly accept your passing. Even as I grow older there are so many things I wish you could be apart of (physically), I know spiritually you’re always with me. There’s just certain things you need your mom for. I love you beyond words and more than you ever knew! I thank God for you everyday and feel blessed I was given to you for (26) years. You’re in great company and I hope you all are watching over us!

I Love You!

Happy Mother's Day Mom! I miss you every minute of everyday! Throughout the years I've learned how challenging being a mom is, you made it look so easy. I pray to have a fraction of for your strength, guidance and patience. I wish you knew how hard it was to move forward with my life in a world where you no longer exist :'(
You were and continue to be the GREATEST blessing and gift.
I love you and miss you!!

Hi Mom,

Seven years doesn't seem real to me. I miss you so much! I was sitting down having a cup of coffee yesterday and tears just rolled down my cheeks. It's really hard not having you around (physically). I know that you are ALWAYS with me every where I go. I just miss the phone calls, your silly laugh, your smell and your hugs. I wish you could see all the grandchildren that have come into the world since you left. They're all so beautiful/handsome and have great personalities :) We just need grandmas touch at times-you always knew what to do from fever to earache :( I don't think you know the impact you had on everyone. The impact was greater when you left us. I think we're all missing a little something without you here. You have left a void in my life that can never be filled. Please know that you are loved way beyond words can ever describe. Nothing and no one can ever be you! You were absolutely everything! I truly hope you are resting in paradise. Continue to guide and watch over us.

I Love you Mom!

Hi mom,
I just wanted to wish you a Happy Mother's Day! This day will ALWAYS be bittersweet for me. It's hard to celebrate the joy and blessings of being a Mother when the BEST mother I've ever known is gone. You are the reason and motivation behind me wanting to be the best mother I can be. I hope to one day be a fraction of the mom you were! I miss you so much! You live forever in my heart and I'll ALWAYS cherish my memories with and of you! I LOVE YOU!

Hi mama,

Wow! I cannot or maybe refuse to believe it's been 5 years since you left us. Seeing your headstone made it that much more real for me. I miss you so much! I struggle daily to accept you're gone. I wish I had more time with you! But I know your work here was done..I really hope that you're watching over us...our family really needs guidance and support. We're falling apart mom, some more than others. You have no idea how much you mean/meant to EVERYONE. You were our rock! Our foundation! Our everything! I'm finally learning to grieve in a healthy way. I have to! Just know that you are ALWAYS IN MY THOUGHTS AND IN MY HEART! I love you so much!

Forever,
Your girls!

Hi, Nana--

Was just thinking of you, as usual, and just wanted to thank you for everything, now that I figured out how to write on here. It has been SO long since I've seen you, heard your voice, held your hand, sat by you in church, called you for ingredients for things to cook, and just to go by and have coffee with you and give you your manicures. I miss you so much! I remember your teachings and words of wisdom every single day. I try to live my life like if you were watching my every move, because you are. It breaks my heart knowing that Noah never met you, but I am just so grateful that he and all of us have you as our guardian angel. He just turned 2 and man, he is a handful! Keep us safe and thanks again for making me, me! I love you, Nana!

Your Rana <3

I cannot believe it has been a year since you've been gone...I miss you so much Mom...I would give anything to see you one more time, to hug and kiss you and tell you how much "I Love You"...I miss talking to you everyday, there are so many times I want to pick up the phone and tell you what faces Criselle has made or even how much she's growing...But I know that you are with us everyday, she has the best guardian angel! I think about you all the time mama, you are truly missed...I love you!
