The thing about Faye

My mother was so amazing! And I'm not just saying that cause she was my momma. It's 4 am and all I can think about is how I hope to be like her. Although she is forever in my heart, lord knows I wish I could hold her hand one more time or pinch her cheeks. How I wish I could give her everything she ever desired because she did so for me, she did so for everyone. Her gift of song, to unite, to laugh in the darkest hour. Never met anyone else like this lovely lady. And I'm so happy I was hers and she was mine. My heart. I wish I had her strength and her ability to take on the world head on. It was a very difficult time for me toward her transition from this world. Even toward the end she still answered the phone with "It's a beautiful day!", she still entered a room with grace, humor, and inspiration. She still stood on her feet working to make sure we had something. We knew we could beat cancer for a third time! She was given 3 months and I swear it's because of her genuineness, love for all and positive attitude that kept her here for three more years. I never knew how serious it was until I got back home. She never wanted to stop me or my dreams. Some days I wish she did. I miss my momma everyday, and I wish she were still here to wrap me in her arms and make me feel home again. It's been a long time since I felt like that.
