Dear Mathew,
This message is for you to read anytime, all the time, and forever!
don't ever be sad while I'm away or not near, because I'm always with you in your heart
every time the sun rises to meet the day, think of me greeting you with a morning kiss
every time the moon shines good night, think of me holding you warm and tight
for every laugh you have, i'm laughing right with you (even if I don't get it)
for all your proud moments I might miss, remember I'm always proud of you near or far

Be still my heart...you have said everything that a mother could to send off a son. My sweet son is leaving for college next week and this truly hit home.
I've been off and on of blogging with my mom's passing away a year ago and trying to wade through the year of grief all the while being there with my chin up for all the highs of senior year of HS for my son.
Thank you for such incredible words...thank you
thanks Ellen!
sorry to hear about your mother. I know how hard grief can be. writing has helped me the most.
as for your son, that must be so bittersweet...off to college. feel free to re-use or share the letter to him. I wish him the best!
take good care of yourself!
thanks for your comment
