~Mom~
It's been a year today since I heard the news that shocked us all. I've missed you so much. I've wanted to call you for recipes and advice. I want to hear the excitement in your voice when we finally get pregnant. I want to see you hold our babies. I want to see Dad really happy again. I just want you to hold me and tell me you love me. I miss the smell of your cooking, seeing you smile, and hearing your laughter. I'm afraid of forgetting the sound of your voice and the things you'd say. I wish I would have known what was going to be our last hug and our last goodbyes. But the words probably would have been the same, "I love you so much. I'll miss you . We'll see you again soon." All my love, VoNique

what a hard thing to have to go through. i just can't imagine. and i can't believe it's already been a year. (thanks for sharing).
I'm so sorry Vo! I can't even imagine how hard that must be. I agree with Nicole you are such a strong person. At least we know we will see our family again. We love you!!!
You really are amazing. You have gone through a lot but it never shows in your demeanor or countenance. You are always so happy and it spreads to those who are privileged enough to know you. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings. It has helped me reflect on how blessed I am to be able to share the little moments with my mom. Your mom sounds amazing and it’s comforting to know you will see her again.
Thanks for sharing some of your special memories of your Mom with us. I can only imagine how difficult this last year has been for you, having her gone, but I admire the strength you have and the amazing woman you are! You are a reflection of her. Sure wish I could give you a big hug right now.
Okay, I'm totally crying too... I've been meaning to email you guys since we got your xmas letter. I can't believe what a challenging year 2007 was for you. I truly think that the hardest things happen to some of the most amazing people... the Lord is just getting you ready for all your blessings. We're praying for you guys... thanks for finding us- we're happy to be in contact with you guys again.
I don't even know you and I'm totally crying. That was beautiful.
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one crying now. That was really sweet. She will be there for all those moments. You might not see her, and it will be different, but she will be there.
VoNique, that was beautiful. I wish I had something to say to help, but all I can say is I love you and thank you for letting me be your friend.
I love you, Nique. I'm glad I have you for my "little" sister...I look up to you.
