Remembering Mom: 19 Years Later
Today marks 19 years since I lost my mom to lung cancer after years of smoking. She was my best friend, my confidant, and my rock. The bond we shared was unbreakable. She was always there for me, no matter what.
The Bond We Shared
My mom wasn’t just a parent; she was my everything. Whenever I needed advice, a shoulder to cry on, or someone to share a laugh with, she was the one I turned to. Her unwavering support and love shaped who I am today.
Coping with Loss
Losing her was the hardest thing I’ve ever faced. The grief felt unbearable, and some days, it still does. But over time, I’ve learned to live with the pain. The memories we made and the lessons she taught me bring comfort and strength.
Keeping Her Memory Alive
I honor my mom by keeping her traditions alive and sharing stories about her with my child. Cooking her favorite recipes and reflecting on her wisdom helps me feel close to her. I strive to live in a way that would make her proud.
Finding Peace
Nineteen years later, I find peace knowing her spirit lives on in me. Her love and strength continue to inspire me daily. While I miss her every day, I know she’s watching over me, guiding me, and cheering me on.
Mom, I miss you more than words can say. Thank you for being my best friend and greatest supporter. Your love lights my path, and I carry you with me in everything I do. Until we meet again.
