Dear Mom,

I do not miss you 

because you are everywhere. 

When I ace a test, 

I thank you for giving me half of my brain.

When I say "close the lights,"

I like sounding like an idiot because of you.  

When I talk about you, 

I know you are still alive in my memories.  

And as I grow older,

I know you will be there every step of the way.
