It’s been almost two years and I think of you every day. As mother day approaches it hurts my hurt knowing I can’t celebrate with you. You are the person who first made me a mom. Without you having come into my life I know I wouldn’t be who I am today. You made me better and I will forever miss you
The day Iris died she grabbed my hand and walked me down the dark hall. While we walked she told me as long as she has my hand I would never be alone. She told me she loved me and that everything would be ok. I was confused at the time now I know exactly what she meant.
So Iris started calling my aunt gma after my mom past away. One day she realized it was ok to call her guy friend papa n no one would get mad. She looks at him and in the sweetest voice ever she says grandpa u show is ugly. Every time I see him that’s all I can think about
She was smart beyond her years and very outspoken
Iris was bright and always smiling in class! She always know how to make some one smile!! She was a true blessing! She will me missed!!
She was such an incredible, brilliant, and sweet girl! I'll never forget her running around the classroom holding a piece of play asparagus pretending it was an oboe!
Thoughts and prayers are with you all!
