Grieving

In an interview to be broadcast Monday on NBC, Princes William and Harry told "Today" show co-host Matt Lauer that their grieving process has been a long one, bereft of "peace and quiet" because of nonstop media attention.
"There's not a day goes by I don't think, you know, that I don't think about it once in the day," said Prince William.

When a friend asked me once, how long do you think you'll grieve, my answer was I don't know. A long time, I guess. I was wrong. You would never stop grieving over the loss of someone you love.

Its been four months and still sometimes I go home expecting to see her waiting for me to have dinner. Or I'd sometimes forget that she is no longer around waiting for us to get home with her Starbucks frappuccino.

There's not a day that goes by that you don't think about it. You'll always wonder, how Mom would love this, how Mom would' ve enjoyed doing this, what Mom will say about that. Even the simple things will remind you of her. How I miss Mom.

Mama, thank you for who I am

Thank you for all the things I'm not

Forgive me for the words unsaid

For the times I forgot

Mama remember all my life

You showed me love, you sacrificed

Think of those young and early days

How I've changed along the way

And I know you believed

And I know you had dreams

And I'm sorry it took all this time to see

That I am where I am because of your truth

And I miss you, I miss you

Mama forgive the times you cried

Forgive me for not making right

All of the storms I may have caused

And I've been wrong, Dry your eyes

And I know you believed

And I know you had dreams

And I'm sorry it took all this time to see

That I am where I am because of your truth

And I miss you, I miss you

Mama I hope this makes you smile

I hope you're happy with my life

At peace with every choice I made

How I've changed along the way

And I know you believed in all of my dreams

And I owe it all to you, Mama
