It has been 9 years since you left us, Mom and I still miss you everyday. I miss your smile, the way you used to throw your head back and laugh that beautiful laugh, how you loved each of your grandchildren, always accepting each one for who they were, how you would always make me feel safe...I always knew that with you around everything would be ok. I miss your hugs and just being able to call to talk things over with you. I am so proud to be your daughter and to have had the privilege of being your daughter. I am who I am because of you and I thank you for your unfailing trust in my abilities, for seeing the best in me when others couldn't, for always showing me your unconditional love. I love you Mom...always and forever! Your brown-eyed babe, Di. - Posted by: Diana (daughter) on: Jul 17, 2012
