She's been gone for over 30 years and I still feel her loss to my core every day of my life.

For 30 years ? That's a long time . .
I'm sorry for that and for the fact that you no longer have her . .

But I also feel her watching over me, and the memories of us together make life bearable.

I too believe in an afterlife . .
