Dear Mom,
It has been five years since we talked. For the longest time I kept your last voice mail message that you sent me. I wanted to hold on to you any way I could. I didn't listen to the message often, I just took comfort knowing that I had it. I wish I could have recorded all my memories of you.
Mom, you have contributed to my life in many ways and for this I thank you. Your love of music and singing has always been a part of me. I only wish that I had your natural talent for learning new instruments. Maybe someday I will be able to entertain others with my music. Until then, my children enjoy hearing me sing all of the songs I learned from you.
When it comes to any health related concern, I am kind of a hypochondriac. You always told me I inherited that trait from dad. In many other areas of my life, I am a pretty relaxed with a "go with the flow" attitude. I attribute this positive way of life to you. I am certain that you would have put a trampoline in your family room for an entire winter given the chance.
There are so many more ways you have affected my life and made me who I am. Being a mother is not an easy job, but thanks to you, all of your children turned out pretty good.
Missing you
Susie
