Thank you for fighting for me when I had waking pneumonia, thank you for having faith that I&#8217;ll get better. I&#8217;ve heard a little about that day and how you were so happy that I was going to have a normal life finally. You gave that to me, your faith saved me. I miss you so much today, waking up and knowing one of the halves that made me are gone. I notice it every day, but today hurts a little more. I miss your laugh and your overwhelming confidence. I miss being able to text you about something, and you going into mama bear mode and being protective over me. I miss your arms around me, I miss your voice. I miss the way you said my name, and the way you cheered me on for anything I did,&#8221; Bonnie wrote.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Today was the day we&#8217;d shower you in flowers and gifts, and usually one was a precious moment. You loved those so much! Words can&#8217;t describe how a daughter misses her mother. It feels like a big part of me is gone, and it breaks my heart to know it&#8217;ll never come back. I wish you would come back home, I&#8217;d do anything to see you walk through that door one last time. I wish you were here, I&#8217;d give anything to give a hug.
