The candle I light for you today will not shine as bright as the candle you lint when you became my mother and my best friend. I will never forget you and I will always love you. I may cry a tear or two because you gone but, because I know you are no longer in pain and you are no longer suffering,and you are resting in God's heavenly home and you are at peace I can celebrate your life but, because I'm selfish and my heart hurts it's hard for me right now but, I do know that in time God will ease my pain and dry my tears. I love you ma and I always will.
