a mother could ask for anything more than the love the 3 of you shared with her.

Hi Mom,
I love you and miss you so much. I am wearing your pink robe and imagining that you are giving me a hug. I have an empty feeling in my heart. If I had one wish in this world, I wish that I could spend one more day with you. You are not only my mother but my best friend. Everywhere I look, I see memories of you. When I go back to Hawaii I know that you will be with me always. When I see the beautiful white rays of light peaking through the clouds, I will remember all of the prayers that I prayed for you and know that now your are trying to heal me. When it is my time to go home, please mom come and greet me.
I love you forever. Joanne.
