I have been thinking about you all Thanksgiving weekend, mom. I am so thankful for everything that you did for me as your son. Miss you lots.

Love always,
Sterling

Thinking of you on Christmas, Mom, and the fun that we would have as a family. Love and miss you.

Always,
Sterling

It is difficult to believe that it has been two years, mom. I think about you almost daily and you are regularly in my dreams. My life certainly has not been the same since your passing. Ideally, you are in a good place, and ideally you know that I love and miss you, and I would not have achieved what I have in life if not for your love and sacrifices. Always, Sterling.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY, DR NORMAJEAN!

I love and miss you, mom; and think of you daily. Thank you for everything that you did for me!

Love always, Sterling.  

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DR NORMAJEAN! Thinking of you as always. Love you and miss you, mom.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING, MOM! I often think of our last Thanksgiving together, and the Best Mother Award that I made for you and presented to you with everybody else present. Miss you lots. Love, Sterling

MERRY CHRISTMAS, MOM! The holidays are not the same without you. At all. Thinking of you today and often.

Love,

Sterling

P.S., Mom: I posted the tribute just above late on Christmas Day 2018, but it loaded as 12/26. This site must not be on Pacific Time! Now I know, and I can hear you fussing and joking about that!

Love, Sterling

Mom: It was striking to realize that today is the third anniversary of your passing, as it does not seem that is has been so long since you were physically here. I miss you terribly and think of you constantly. I am finally making some rather significant life changes and I know that you are looking out for me as you always have. Thank you for that. Love always, Sterling.

HAPPY EASTER, MOM!!! I remember how much you enjoyed this day. Miss you.

Love,

Sterling

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY, DR NORMAJEAN!!! Your love and sacrifices are what got me to where I am today. Miss you lots and think of you constantly.

Merry Christmas, Mom. While it has been a challenging year, I continue to persevere - one of the many traits I learned by watching you. I think about you often and have been dreaming about you quite a bit over the past few weeks... Next year, I will work on my promise to you re your autobiography. Miss & love you. Sterling

Happy New Year, Dr Normajean! New year, new goals, new perspectives! And you will be with me along the way!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, MOM!

This morning, Ms Dru texted me a photo of you and me at your last Christmas. We are both smiling and you look beautiful. While initially I was saddened, I appreciated that I did not have that photo of us, and it made for a lovely memory and keepsake. Miss you. Love, Sterling.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, MOM!

I was thinking of the last New Year's Eve that we spent together and how we wished one another a Happy New Year at midnight. I am so glad that we had that. Miss you.

Love, Sterling

Another anniversary of your sunset, Mom... It remains challenging to fathom. I think of you regularly. I greatly miss you.

This is still the year to commence work on your autobiography. Last week, I looked at your doctorate dissertation as well, and I'm considering how to publish that. Love and miss you. - Sterling

Hi Mom,

I am late this year. I had a mellow and quite relaxing long weekend - my first in well over a year. I put up my holiday tree the day after Thanksgiving and though about the times I hosted Thanksgiving dinner for you and others at my residences. Love and miss you, Sterling

MERRY CHRISTMAS, DR NORMAJEAN! Yesterday, I was looking at your watch you gave to me and considered having it turned into a piece that I could wear. I'm opting to leave it as it is for now. I am looking at my holiday tree and thinking of you. Miss you.

Love, Sterling

HAPPY NEW YEAR, DR NORMAJEAN!

2022 was a rough year for me. Ideally, I will make 2023 better. Thinking of you. And I must work on your book.

Love, Sterling
