six years and nine months without you

Happy heavenly anniversary, MOMMY 😇 😔🕯🦋 💞

You are so missed do you hear me talking to you every day?

Grief and grieving has been very challenging for me as I compartmentalize everything so I can survive each day.

I take it day by day moment by moment, so I don’t get overwhelmed.

I close my eyes and I think of the conversations, the memories, the experiences that you and DADDY encourage JACKIE and I still have.

Thank you for being such a phenomenal mother and getting on that playing with me 29 years ago all these milestones so glad I got to share them.

Happy aloha Wednesday night to you.

Love you, love you, love you,

Miss you, miss you, miss you,

Mean it, mean, mean,

Please come to me in my dreams sit on the edge of my bed and have a conversation with me. I invite both you and DADDY and bring any of the pets. Those wanna come

I hope you’re enjoying your time with aunt ANNIE 😇 🎂🎈🎉.

I cannot believe it’s been five months since she passed.

Until next time, be a good wahine and I’m sending you a virtual local Moko.
