Most of the days, I still feel the pain. I miss you everyday and God knows how much I long for you. Everyday, I view your pictures and videos and it made me feel good and sad at the same time because I know that you&#8217;ve been with us but you&#8217;ve gone so soon.<\/p>\n<p>Losing you is the most painful experience and I was so down because of the thought that I can&#8217;t have you anymore. You are so precious to us and letting you go is really hard.<\/p>\n<p>As your mom, I would like to promise you something. I know that you&#8217;ve known me as a happy and strong mom. Since you&#8217;ve been gone, I realized that I was not that same person anymore. Everyday, I turned into a different one. I&#8217;m afraid that you might not recognized me anymore because I&#8217;ve changed a lot. For the honor of you, I will stay as the mom you&#8217;ve known. I will stay as your happy and strong mom. No matter how painful the situation now, I will stay as cheerful as ever. I know that there are days that I will turn into a different one but I promise to give my best to be your best mom. I will continue to live my life to the fullest because I know that is what you want. I will continue to stay as the old me because that is how you know me. Though pain is unbearable but I will live each day with that pain in me, I will continue living each moment with hopes, dreams and love. I hope that in this little sacrifices I have, you will feel proud of all my efforts.<\/p>\n<p>There are some fears and uncertainties and sometimes I don&#8217;t know anymore on how to deal with those feelings but I promise to stay strong no matter what the future may brings and I will continue to believe that something better will happen.<\/p>\n<p>I know I will shed more tears and be sad sometimes but believe me, I am trying so hard and I know with your help I can get through this. No more goodbyes because everyday I can still feel you are with us. I can still feel your presence and I believe that you are just one breath a way. Everytime I ask something from you, you always show something that reminds me that you are just around. I am very thankful for that and I know that you will stay with us forever. I feel so blessed to be your mom. I know that you brought so much joys to heaven. I am grateful to God for allowing me to be your mom for 2 years and 5 months. Thank you very much for all the joys you bring to our lives.<\/p>\n<p>Your memories are in my heart forever. Don&#8217;t worry about us anymore. \u00a0I love so much! I miss you!<\/p>\n<p>Please grow your wings and tell me more about it someday&#8230; until then baby!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bubblymom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1147 alignleft\" title=\"2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bubblymom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/2-1024x687.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"614\" height=\"412\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.bubblymom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/2-1024x687.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.bubblymom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/2-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 614px) 100vw, 614px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net\/hphotos-ak-ash3\/58805_4686079950846_1319973247_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"576\" height=\"387\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net\/hphotos-ak-snc7\/297367_4350800809077_5462910_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"383\" height=\"576\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net\/hphotos-ak-ash3\/561613_4828766037909_1248759591_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"576\" height=\"384\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net\/hphotos-ak-ash3\/59024_4828761677800_1539462572_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"576\" height=\"384\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Ayumi, Tomorrow is the 40th day without you!
