Dear Kim:

Today is Mothers' Day.

I always miss you on this day, Sweetie. I miss the femininity that you 
brought to this day. I love them, you know that, but they are the guys. They 
lack your guidance. Ha, Ha.

Often I see young women with their Moms and my heart just aches. I miss our 
girls' day out and our Christmas shopping trips.
We tried to keep those things going as long as we could, long after you were 
in the wheelchair. We always had a great time.

I miss those big blue eyes and that contagious smile. You were always a 
beautiful child and you grew into a beautiful, strong young woman. I am 
grateful that I had you here for the 24 years you spent with us. I feel very 
blessed, for you are remarkable. Sometimes, I feel that you are very close to 
me. But, Lord, I miss the sound of your voice and the way you laughed. 

We are so close to a cure for this disease. I can just feel it. I pray that 
it will be soon. No other Mothers should have to loose their children, young 
or old, to this Dragon.

I know that love is eternal, Baby. As I promised, I will be along in due time 
and we shall be together again. Meanwhile, I love you and I miss you.

Love
Mama
