Heyyyy, Mom (said in her sing-song voice)

Mom, it will be hard to match today in beauty or in grace. You showed us what it means to love unconditionally; to laugh unabashedly; and to leave on your own terms. We needed you then, you needed us today. And like you, we never left your side. I will always love you, and will miss you, profoundly. I can hear your voice so clearly, and can feel you with us as we come to terms with our new configuration. You’re with us now; you’ll always be. As we reminisced earlier today, you always walked slightly ahead of us, to lead the way, and more importantly, show off your speedy little legs. I’ll continue to follow your lead, as I move on with life. I miss you, Mom. I love you with all my heart, and then some …. --J
