  11. Mommom,

    This message is for you; I will never stop being grateful for the blessing that your life has given to me and to my children. Maybe they were little things you never thought I’d remember, but as I grew and had children of my own every moment of my childhood was solidified by the gift you gave me when you loved me unconditionally everyday of my life. Every memory i had with you, I shared with my kids, I made sure they knew who you were and who I am because of you. I have missed you all the days I had to grow up without you, real life, finances, and the silly mistakes we make as we grow up and loose touch or “get to busy” they add to the days I wish I could have shared with you instead. I’ll never forget how you used to rub your finger in circles on my hand, or shake your ice around in your drink, how I’d sit with you when you’d watch Days of our lives , I’ll never forget that there was never a day I thought you didn’t love me, and I just hope you know that I loved you everyone of those days too. Thank you everything you were ever were Mommom.
    Until we one day meet again ,
    Rachell
    Emmett and Evelynn
