One of my biggest fears, and the single most difficult thing I can imagine, would be losing a parent. I love my mother more than she knows and I pray every day that she would take better care of herself, so I don't have to see that fear become reality. Every chance I get, I try to give her a good meal, better nutrition that she normally gets. And every time she leaves my house, it kills me to see her light another cigarette because I know... One day, she may not be around for me to feed, care for, nourish, and worry about. Mom, I know you have flaws and I love you in spite of them. Unconditionally. Forever. And if I don't say it enough, drive safe. Because, I know it's selfish, but I want you to come back to me. I want to see you again and never know what life would be like without you. I love you.
