Five years today, Momma… and I still feel you in every part of my life. You weren’t just my mother — you were my best friend, my confidant, my life teacher, my joy, my safe place. Your whole being carried a warmth and a light that made everything feel possible.
I miss every moment we spent side by side in the kitchen — from baking to preparing meals. Those were our sacred spaces. Flour on our hands, laughter in the air, you teaching me without even trying. You’d move around the kitchen with that easy grace, humming, joking, tasting, guiding. And I’d be right there next to you, learning life through the way you cooked, the way you loved, the way you showed up.
I remember how you’d break into those little quick dances whenever your favorite song came on — right there in the kitchen. You’d wiggle your shoulders, do that little two‑step, and smile like the music was speaking directly to you. And I’d jump right in, acting silly with you like it was nobody’s business. Those moments were ours — free, fun, and full of love.Your fun spirit was unmatched.
You had that spark, that playful energy, that way of turning an ordinary moment into something worth remembering. Being around you felt like sunshine.And your wittiness… Momma, you were quick. Those sharp comebacks, those clever one‑liners, the way you’d say something so funny and so true that everybody had to pause before the laughter hit. You had a humor that was bold, honest, and unforgettable — the kind that still makes me smile out of nowhere.But you weren’t just fun — you were wise.
You were my confidant, the person I could trust with anything. You held my secrets, my fears, my dreams, and you guided me with a steady hand and a soft heart. You taught me how to think, how to stand, how to love, how to grow. You were my life teacher in every sense of the word.I remember your presence — warm, steady, full of life. The way you hugged me like you were protecting something precious. The way you made me feel seen, safe, and loved. The way you carried strength and softness at the same time.These memories are how I keep you close. They’re how I carry your spirit forward — your fun, your wit, your wisdom, your love, your friendship. Five years later, your light still shines in me, guiding me, comforting me, and reminding me that I was blessed to have a Momma who was truly one of a kind.Forever my Momma.
Forever my best friend.
Forever my confidant.
Forever my life teacher.
Forever my heart.
You often told me that you raised us as if you were leaving us tomorrow. Now I'm faced with forever tomorrow's navigating life using all the lessons you taught us.
