My mother's love impacted me in an incredible way, always guiding and protecting, and I will forever feel her love. I remember her words when my dad passed away....she repeated a quote from someone- "Grief is like the ocean, it comes in waves, ebbing and flowing. Sometimes the water is calm, and sometimes it is overwhelming. All we can do is learn to swim." There is no goodbye for my mom, she will forever be in my heart. Mother left me beautiful memories, her love will continually guide me, and even though I cannot see her, she will always be at my side! Her smile, laughs, and positive words gave me joy and many "feel good moments" and because of those, I will strive to carry on her legacy. She has taught me to "stop, and smell the roses", I just have not been her best student! But I will try to be better at living life the way she has tried to teach me. The love my mom had for her family and friends lives on and brings me peace. I am constantly reminded through my mom's memories of how fortunate I am that she was in my life. I wouldn't trade those memories for the world. Some of the best memories I have were on the beach. I can say "the sand of time will never wash away the love that I have for my mom". Her sweet memories will remain forever in my heart. Love her to the moon and back!
