It's been 25 years, Mom

Hi Mom,

​

It's been 25 years since I lost you. You have been gone since I was 12 years old, and I still miss you.

We are happily expecting our second child, and we are waiting for this baby with so much love. We live in peace and safety, and I am deeply grateful for the life we have.

But sometimes I wish you were here. I wish I could call you, tell you how the pregnancy is going, ask you little questions, or just hear your voice. I wish we could talk about everyday things and support each other with love.

It would mean so much to have you here. To share this joy with you. To hear your kind words. To know that I could turn to you for comfort, encouragement, or simply a loving conversation.

Twenty-five years is a long time without a mom. I have lived more of my life without you than with you, and I still miss you. ❤️
