I have been on a four month break from performing to spend time with my amazing Mom and family. It has been the most difficult, sad, bonding, cherished, uplifting, inspiring, beautiful, and grieving time’s of my life… As many of you know, my Mom passed away at 64 yrs. young on January 1, 2013. I wanted to share with you my goodbye note to her as a tribute…
Momma…. You are safe now, with no worries, no cares, and no pain…. I Love Y O U so very much and I already miss you terribly…. There are no words that could ever adequately express the emotions I am feeling at this moment, maybe they exist in Heaven…. You were an unbelievably amazing Gift from God… Not just to your family and close friends, who shared life’s adventures with you, but to everyone who even briefly met you… I know you were not perfect, but for me, you represented all that is good, and pure, and wonderful in this world… I have often described you to people as the Sweetest, And Most Loving Person On The Face Of The Earth… And that does not do you justice : )…. Wherever you were, you brought Unconditional Love, Joy, Peace, and Grace, and of course your wonderful laugh and smile! And you didn’t even need to try, because that is just who you are…. I can’t believe you are not here anymore, and I’m not quite sure how to deal with it…. I know you are in Heaven though My Precious Momma, sharing all of your wonderful love and joy, and if possible, making Heaven and even happier place : )…. You taught me so much, and not because of a lesson plan, or preaching to me, but simply by the way you lived every single day… I will Never forget those lessons Momma, nor the manner in which you taught them…. There will NEVER be a day that goes by, when I don’t think about you, see your imprint on my life, and feel the warmth of your love…. I’m sure you are already enjoying a family reunion in Heaven, and organizing the talent show… Be sure to save a spot for me, I want to sing a song with my Momma…
