One Day at a Time

Dear Sweet Erin,
I visited your grave once again today, as I do every week. I know you are not there because you are in Heaven now. I wish I could talk to you..see your face..hug you just once more. But I know it would not be enough.
We are just taking one day at a time, trying to get through it, trying to help David, trying to stay here for him and make life as good as we can for him.
But as the seasons are about to change, I miss you even more. I miss your visits, your calls, your hugs, your "I love you, mama". I miss you!!! My heart aches for our family to be happy again, but we know that that just isn't happening as we remember and long for you to be part of it. I know you are with us in spirit. I know how strong your spirit was. You had a zest for life and goodness and love. And everyone knew it--all your family and friends.
I wonder what you are doing in Heaven. Are you helping with the decorating of the mansions. You loved to decorate and did it so well. I saw pictures of the house you and Jeff bought when you first bought it. Then I saw the pictures after you renovated it. You did so well. It really was transformed. You were an asset to Jeff in so many ways. I know he loved your tremendously and you loved him back that much, too. I'm just so sorry you had to leave us all before we were ready.
But we put our trust in God and know that He will help us all until we are reunited one sweet day.
I love you!
Mama
