Mom,
I have so many thoughts and emotions running through my mind and heart... I am lost, broken and can't begin to figure out where to pick up the pieces. We think of soul mates and you are mine. Without having to speak a work, we understand each other and know exactly what the other person is thinking. I have never had a friend like you before and can't imagine my life without you in it. I will also need my mom! I will never forget the time that dad called to say he was coming home from work early and we were hiding 100+s presents throughout the house in fear that he would figure out how much we spent! Driving in the car and singing and dancing to complete strangers in the cars next to us..... Hiding our purchases in the trunk until dad went to bed and then wearing it a week of two later- "No, I bought this ages ago"! There are so many memories that I have with you mom and so many more to make! You CANNOT give up the fight of your life- you need the passion in your soul and heart that you had before! Think about your amazing grandchildren who deserve to have such an amazing and loving Nana.....and all of the people who lives you have touched in one way or another! I love you mom more than words could every describe! You are my best friend and I would be completely lost without you, your guidance, your love or support! You are my rock! I love you, I love you, I love you!
Love your daughter,
Erika Elizabeth
