Losing the person who loved you even before you were born. Who you opened your eyes to for the very first time & who was the first love of your life is very difficult. That is why love and memories are so precious & valuable in times of loss. Keep them close to your heart. Your Mom is a memory away because someone so loved never goes away. God Bless.
