Happy Mother’s Day From Frankie Lee

In celebration of Mother's Day on Sunday May 13, we asked Patch readers to write a letter to their mother and let us deliver it. This is Frankie Lee's letter to her mom:

Dear Mama,

Did you know that you’re my hero? Did you know that to me you’re the most perfect woman in my life? That you’re everything I honor and respect?

From the day I was born you were perfect. Your love warmed my life and filled my heart so much that I feel empty now that you’re gone.

Mother's Day was always so special. I would drive home and you would open the door with your smile brighter than the biggest star, and your hug so welcoming. I couldn't wait to get there. I always thought of you, and when I had to leave I would cry driving home worrying about you.

Now my life is empty. Saying goodbye was the hardest thing I had to do, knowing I would never drive up and see you standing at the door with that beautiful smile or waving goodbye when I had to leave.

Mother's Day is hard, because having been blessed with such a perfect mother leaves your heart empty. I know you’re with God and an angel in the sky, but just to be able to tell you how much I love you, I now look up high towards the sky.

Happy Mother's Day. I can't help but cry. I will always love you and be proud to be your daughter.

For all those who have their mother, love them, hug them and write that special letter. I would give anything for just one more moment.

—Frankie Lee
