Merry Christmas, Mom - Part XI

Randyjohnson

When I say that you were a wonderful mother and person, I'm being sincere.

The memory of the last Christmas that we shared is something I hold dear.

We spent many Christmases together but we won't be able to do it again.

We'll spend Christmases together in Heaven in the future but I don't know when.

Back in 2012, I gave you and Dad two presents each on Christmas Eve.

You passed away less than three months later and it was hard to believe.

I didn't realize just how sick that you were.

Your death was painful and hard to endure.

If I'd known that the Christmas of 2012 would be our last Christmas, I would've appreciated it more.

I will always appreciate and cherish the final Christmas we shared and all of the Christmases before.

You and Dad are both gone and I can't spend another Christmas with either of you.

I want to wish you and Dad a Merry Christmas because it's the proper thing to do.

    Heartfelt lines here. So hard when we lose our parents. We miss them so much, especially on anniversaries or at family occasions like Christmas. I hope you have beautiful memories, as I do of mine.
