My heart aches in corners I did not know existed. I miss you so much already. Who am I going to call for advice? Who is going to tell me it’s going to be ok? Who is going to be my direct line to God for my prayers? Who is going to be my confidant? Who am I going to call during the day when I just need to talk to my mommy? Who is going to remind me how blessed and lucky I am? Who is going to be my teacher? Who is going to love the Sandels and Sandels-West family like only you could? Who is going to call me on my birthday and sing like only you could? WHO, WHO, WHO?Thanks to you I already the answers to all of these questions by the gift you gave me before you passed away. Thanks for giving me your and my dad’s eyeglasses. I will hold these glasses and look through them to remind me how you saw things in life. These glasses will allow me to close my eyes and see my memories of you so they will never fade away. Through this gift I will always try to honor the way you showed love, respect, and the good in all of us. I will try more to emulate your virtues. Words can’t express what a gift you were to me. What an honor to have been your daughter. I don’t know how I got so lucky.Mom people only die if you forget them. You never will be forgotten so I find comfort in knowing you will be with me forever. Love you to the moon and back. Love your baby girl.-Marilyn
