I want to start off by saying mama.I love you.I miss you and it don’t seem real.Not a day goes by that I don’t try to call you.I think about you all day long at nite I look up to the sky at night and try to talk to you. I miss you so badly.I wish I would just had a little bit more time with you than what I had.They always say God takes the good ones 1st and that’s true, but we can’t question him. I guess it was ur time for the beautiful angel to fly and spread them big bold gorgeous wings of urs heaven need their angel butnit was way way too soon too early but I thank God every day for the checks.I got to spend with you and for the chance my baby’s got to spend with their grandmother.I just hate the fact you’re going to miss this last baby being born and meeting her, but I know you are always with me in my heart spirit and soul you always said that.
