| 1 Year Ago Today |
[Aug. 9th, 2008|06:44 am] |
Hi Mom,
It's hard to believe that it was a year ago today that you passed away. I hope you know that we all miss you terribly, and love you as much as ever. I still can't believe that it's been so long since I've heard your voice. I still sometimes pick up my phone to call you, only to be saddened when I remember that you won't be able to answer my car. I never knew how tough it was for other people who had lost their mothers until now. I wish I didn't have to know.
There's someone I want you to meet. I feel bad that you won't get to spoil him like you would have wanted to, but we're trying real hard to do it for you. It's also a shame that he won't ever get to know first hand what a wonderful grandmother he had, but we'll be sure to tell him all about you, and how much you mean to us.
This is Jack Thomas O'Drain, your grandson. He was born July 29th.
I hope wherever you are now, you are at peace. And maybe you could drop in from time to time to still check in on us. We will love you, always,
-Tommy |

| 6 Months Today |
[Feb. 9th, 2008|08:59 am] |
It's hard to believe that it's been six months since you've gone. I hope you know that I still think of you everyday, and wish that you had more time here with us. We miss you terribly. I still remember that last day vividly. Every moment. Every detail. I still feel your hand in mine. Feeling you squeeze it as you slipped away. I am sure that I will remember for the the rest of my life.
I hope where ever you may be now, that you are at peace. I had that dream in August where you came to "check in on us." You seemed so happy there, happier than you've been in a long time. I hope you can still check in on us, and feel the love that have for you, and always will have for you. I hope you'll be able to see your grandchild, who will be born in August. We'll make sure that he or she will know what a wonderful and loving grandmother they had, and how much you meant (and still do mean) to us.
I am sorry that I couldn't save you. I know that you know I tried my very best. Maybe it just was your time, and anything we did couldn't stop what was meant to be. I feel glad that I was able to give you hope in your last few months with us - and that you never gave up your fight with the disease. I am so proud of you, and in awe of your bravery in the face of your long odds. Even though you couldn't beat the leukemia, you never gave up. I am thankful that I could walk beside you in that fight.
Life will never be the same without you. No matter how long, that place you have in my heart will always be there. You will never, ever be forgotten.
With all of my love,
Tommy |
