“Momma, I never thought the day would come. I guess at 46, I still believed that you were immortal or something and going to be around forever. Seriously, since I was a little kid, I thought you had some type of superpower. When I got that call at 4:00 AM from my sister Angie, I heard her cry, and without even hearing the words, I understood. I am sorry for being so stubborn, Momma. I wish I could have told you how much I truly do love you. I’ll miss the late night messages showing me something you thought I’d like. Your sassy spirit and sassier mouth. The FaceTime calls where we’d talk about nothing and everything. You and I butted heads violently at times, but we loved just as fiercely. I am going to miss you so very much, Momma. I don’t know how to describe what I am feeling other than feeling horrible regret in the pit of my stomach that won’t go away. You gave me life and never stopped trying to express your love for me. Thank you for being my mother. I love you forever. Fly high and pain free, Momma, until we meet again.

Your first baby girl,

Laura”
