We did not lose our mom, we know where she is. She was not taken from us or leave us, she went to visit other loved ones. She is not gone because she lives in our hearts. She may not be with us physically, but she is still with us in our own children’s smiles, eyes and expressions. We didn’t lose our mom, but she is just getting our place ready for us!
