I love you so much Mom. I will miss talking to you and hugging and kissing you. You never judged me in my wrong doings, you always kept loving me. I looked at Pikes Peak this morning and heard you in my head telling me "I've been looking at that mountain all my life." It was beautiful this morning with the sunrise, you would have loved it.
