My mama passed away yesterday and left a huge hole in my heart. There is no love that compares to that of a mother and child, I know from experience. I've never been through anything so hard in my whole life. I miss her so much it takes my breath away and hurts more than I ever thought possible. Mom, I love you so much and I know your watching over me now. You'll be with me forever in my heart and I will always be you're little girl.

And just at the moment when someone at my side says, "She is gone", There are others who are watching her coming, and other voices take up a glad shout:
"There she comes." A horizon is just the limit of our sight. Bishop Brent
