TO my beloved mother, Estela, though you are now in heaven, you remain the most cherished memory and the brightest light in my heart. I will never forget your gentle smile, your warm embrace, and the endless love you poured into every moment of my life.
You were the heart of our home, the one who taught me kindness, strength, and faith through every word and every quiet sacrifice you made. Even though you are no longer here beside me, your presence is felt in every good thing I do, and every lesson you left behind continues to guide my steps.
Every Mother’s Day, I celebrate you all the more, because you are not gone—you live on in the person I have become. You worked tirelessly, loved unconditionally, and gave everything you had just to make sure we were safe, happy, and cared for. Your name, Estela, means “star,” and truly, you were and always will be my shining star, lighting my way even from above. No distance, not even heaven itself, can ever separate us, because the bond we shared is written in my soul and will last for all eternity.
Today, I honor you with all my love and gratitude. You may have left this world, but you will never be forgotten. You are forever remembered, forever loved, and forever my mother. Happy Mother’s Day in heaven, dearest Mama Estela Dolomandin. I miss you every single day, and I carry you with me wherever I go.
