I heard the most beautiful thing a while back and it stuck with me.
When someone passes away our job is to find the quality about them that we love and admire the most and strive to be more like them! That is how we keep them alive! Instead of them leaving this earth they are spreading themselves to those they love.

I don´t think I need help in the spunky/outspoken department! So I will choose your pure kindness.

You were always my voice of reason in life.
You were the one I went to with my struggles and you always listened and had life advice to give!
As wild, loud and rambunctious as you were you were always the most kind, calm, genuine soul when it came to listening to someone´s pain in a time of need. You were a healer! You were a fighter on the surface but deep down you wanted the best for everyone with the purest intentions! That is how I will remember you gram

I Will Remember You

I will remember you
I will remember your voice
The way you laugh
The way you talk
The way you show your love

I will remember you
Your heart is full of love
Your eyes smile at those you love
Your hand squeezes tightly to hold on

I will remember you
I will cherish every moment I have had with you
You have been my saving grace
You have shown me how to love

I will remember you
You took me in when you didn´t have to
You made me part of your family
You will always be my mom

I will remember you
The good, the bad and the all between
The memories I have with you will always be on my mind

I will remember you
I will remember you
