It seems that it was just yesterday that you left, but it has only been three years now. I am sorry that I could not be there to celebrate the gathering of your home-going. I will always love you, and I will never forget you as long as I live. I know you don't want me to cry, I can remember when you would tell me not to cry. I miss hearing you tell me that. Today is your 100th birthday. I wish I could hug you and tell you that I love you. I wish that I could see the smile on your face like I did when I was young and hear your laugh. I think about you all of the time and all of the things you taught me how to do. It is not easy but I ask God to give me the strength to still be strong even though you are gone. I don't know if I will ever get over not seeing you for the last time because I didn't get to say goodbye to you. You took me to church and put me beside you in the choir stand to sing my very first song. I would have never sung if it were not for you. You helped me find my voice. I wish I could hear your voice. I wish you could read to me and sing to me again. It is funny how I can remember those things that were so long ago. No one knows how I feel right now. My life is different. It is not anything like it was before you left. I miss you. I guess God needed you more. I will forever keep you in my heart. Happy Birthday 🎁❤️✝️continue to rest in heaven in the arms of Jesus.
