Down to the Nitty-Gritty

Dear Mom,

I cannot in good conscience start this blog without dedicating it to you. This is my first journal entry.

It pains me that I have no memory of you. I have no reference other than a few pictures in a photo album. You had a beautiful
smile that conveyed a never ending sense of kindness and compassion. I will never hear your voice. I will never have the opportunity
the journey of life with you. I will always have infinite love and sorrow for you wherever you are. Although you have not been physically
influential in my life, I firmly believe that your presence has been with me my entire life. You have never left. I miss you so much, and I am so
sorry you are not here.

Love You.
