My Mama

She is the best

Works hard, 

late nights 

and can't come camping with us

at the last minute...

So we go alone without you

but we miss you.

She had to miss 

because she is so dedicated 

and so good 

to her things that are 

dictated

by something else.

Dad teaches me about 

moss and spiders

and grows his roses.

But,

You gave me your eyes

and your kindness

and spunky fun personality. 

You always let me play with Dad 

when we play 

Pinochle.

And don't get mad

when we win. 

You are the one 

who I went to 

when I had sickness

and you showed me what to do. 

You showed me how to be a 

you.

You are my inspiraration and

role model.

I hope I can be

a copy.

It would be a blessing.

You gave me Papa

with his Genos

and hershey's kisses

and painted my face

and read book and recorded

them.

So I would never have to miss you.

You showed me music and 

heart spirit and

laughter 

and love.

I love 

love 

love 

you. 

When I sit

and do my

loving kindness

meditations, 

the first thing you do

is to

think of someone you love most

and it is you.

Thank you,

for being my mom. 

You are a good mom and 

the best 

and I won the lottery.

Not you. 

Thank you. 

You will never feel 

or know

but hopefully 

Karma will show

what you have done

for me. 

I will 

work for you, and 

be my best smartest

self

that looks like you 

and has your eyes and your

spunk.

I will be me

that came from you. 

We are good. 

Because you are good

and you created me. 

Thank you Mama. 

Elixabeth Ann Weber who 

used to be Hoye.

You are so perfect.

I love you. 

And one last time,

thank you.
