Another year. It’s been 3 now and I still can’t believe you’re not here. It’s almost Mother’s Day & I can’t help but reflect on they way you showed me love and kindness, the way you treated me as the daughter you never had, the way you adored your son so much and gave me the opportunity to witness the special bond you had with him. In the little time you had with Penelope, you were the best grandmother and she knows it as she prays every night asking if her Grandma in Heaven can hear it too. I tell her you do and that you’re watching over her. Sebastian just celebrated being 3 and he’s as wild as any boy that age can be. I wish you were here so I could simply laugh with you about Tyler’s childhood again & flip through the pictures just one more time with all the stories you had. This year looks a little different for us, the house you didn’t believe we’d ever have is almost done being built by your son. He’s as stubborn as can be as he’s doing it himself but he strives so much for that pride in his work, you know that. We also have a new little one, Loretta. She’s almost 6 weeks now and she’s got Tyler’s dark hair and lots of it too! You’d be so proud of him, Terry. He’s an amazing Dad, he’s an amazing Husband, he is kind to everyone he meets and works so hard with the best intentions. You did a remarkable job at being a mother to him & raising him to be the man he is. So this Sunday, as we plan yet again another Mother’s Day seafood boil and plant the brightest pink flowers in your garden we started next to our home, we think of you and remember your time with us. Thank you Terry for watching over us, for reminding us to take joy in little things, to squeeze our kiddos just a little more every night and to hold every single moment close to our hearts. We love you.
