You Left

Dear Mom,

When I hurt or need comfort you have always been there for me. You always put your arms around me and I could cry and let go of the pain, but how can I let go of the pain when losing you is the pain? You aren't here to hold me and tell me that things will be okay. How am I going to move through this?

 I keep waiting to wake up, because this is not my life. My life includes you. I get to call you when something great happens and share that news with you. Who am I supposed to call now?

I miss you and I love you and I miss you.
