Mom, I was never ready for the day you left. I thought we had more time — more talks, more laughter, more ordinary moments that I’d come to take for granted. No one tells you that the last goodbye will come so quietly, so suddenly, that you won’t even realize it’s the last until it echoes in your soul forever.
I miss sitting beside you, feeling safe in your presence, hearing your soft advice in the moments when I felt lost. You were my calm, my strength, my home. Now, when life feels heavy, I close my eyes and imagine your hand resting over mine — steady, warm, full of love.
I still talk to you in my heart, Mom. I tell you about my days, my struggles, my hopes. I know you listen. I can feel it.
The stars above seem brighter on the nights I miss you most — maybe because you’re among them, shining down to remind me that love never truly dies.
