5 minute freewrite 2349 prompt share the love

This is my post for #freewriters 2349 prompt share the love hosted by @mariannewest

I miss my Mother every day, but days like today are extra hard when I miss her the most. It is one of "those days" when it seems as if the world is out to get me and there is nothing I can do to stop it. If I could only sit and talk with her for a few minutes and share the love she has for me, I know her words would help.

I also know she would tell me to pray on the things that bother me but even though I pray, it is not the same as when she tells me to do it and I know she is also praying with me. She would say you have to believe in your prayers, I prayed and prayed for her to get better and I believed she would but she didn't.

I miss her arms around me, I miss her soft words, and to hear her voice. It will be 3 years this August, the month of my birth and her death and May is coming soon, it is her birth month and Mother's Day. I miss the way she smelled, there was a freshness that surrounded her. Sometimes she did not need to say anything it was the way she looked at me and her smile that warmed my heart.

I was close to my Dad, too but it did not affect me the way losing my Mom has. Sometimes I can not sleep at night because I miss her so much. They say it will get easier with time and maybe it will, but how much time will it take?
