I love you so much you are an inspiration to everyone who has ever known you. I look up to you and know that someday I will be just like you. Bub said that you think we will only remember the bad side or the grouchy side of you. That is so far from true. All those sports you made me finish, it was all for the best because I will never quit anything. Just like you never stopped fighting. I will always think of you as my mom no matter what. You will be there for me, watching me even when I don’t want you to. I think we all know that we are alike. Fighting over everything just because I thought I was right. All the dances, dresses and hair you were always there to tell me how beautiful I was. I will never forget anything you have ever said about school, grades, or even boys and all the awesome, unforgettable memories of vacations. I don’t think you ever forgot anything to do with work, dinner, a home and family you always made it to everything even my last softball game. You were in so much pain and still saw me play. Each morning I know it will be OK because do you remember the build-a-bear that you and dad got us? Well every night I will sleep with it and every morning I will squeeze it and hear you voice telling me you’ll always love me. Mom you are so at peace and I know God wants you to go because he’s getting low on good, loving, awesome people. It’s a better place and you know a couple of the best parts are that 1. You get to go home 2. You’ll always be there with us. 3. Most important mom, you get to finally see your dad again because he knows you coming and he’ll be the first one to see you when you go to heaven. I’m gonna miss you more than anything I’ll ever miss. Mom we will always remember the good things in life and never take it for granted. We will never forget how much you’ve done for us, the way we are today is all you and maybe a little dad too but mom always know we will never stop loving you, praying to you, thinking about you and we will never forget the impact you will always have on us. I know you be the 1st one waiting for us in heaven.
I’ll always love you mom,
Keep a good eye on me, I’ll make you proud.

Mom,
I can never express how much I love you but I can say that I love you the most I have ever loved someone. Thanks for battling as hard as you could for 2.5 years for us. At times we have argued but those are not the moments I will remember most. I will remember lying with you when I was scared and leaving your room calm. You were the best mom God could have ever gave to us. I have learned so much from you. I remember when you would always say that I had to work for my playing time in sports when I barely played at all. You did so many things to make me the person that I am today. Thank you for showing me the light of God and how he works. I know that I did not want to believe at first but my faith helps me remember that you are going to the best place ever and we will meet you there. I believe that and it gets me through everyday. I know you think that we will only remember your ornery side but I know I will remember when you used to run your hands through my hair and it would make me forget what was wrong. I will also remember all of the great times we had out at the lake, we used to wake up to your making breakfast and it would be the best smell ever. I just want you to know that we will remember the good stuff not the bad. I love you for coming to my games even though you were weak at tired. You are my champion, you are the reason I will stride to succeed in everything I do from hitting the most home runs to getting a 4.0. I will think of you every day not to be sad but to cheer me up! It was a blessing to have you as my mom. I will hold no regrets. Always know I love you and I will always know that you love me and you will be looking over me at all times.
I love you, Take it easy,
Your Son, Love Always
