More than a month after her 70-year-old mom Sandra Garcia’s passing due to COVID-19 and heart disease complications, actress Jean Garcia shared in her latest Instagram post how she is dealing with the loss of a parent.

She wrote, “There isn't a day that goes by where you aren't on my mind. Memories of you flood me every single time and I can't ever find the words to express how thankful I am to have had you as my mom. It is something I thank God for everyday..”

The 51-year-old actress wrote in her open letter to her late mom how she felt about her first Mother’s day without her.

“Mommy, I am holding on today the beautiful memories we had and the incomparable sacrifices you made for all of us that continuously inspire me to live, move on and do better each day. Thank you for being that one person who knew what’s exactly in my heart when my mouth can’t speak. For silently listening to the things I know NO ONE can fully understand. Please forgive me for all my shortcomings. I know I am not a perfect daughter for you. Know that I am still in great regret until this very day, because I missed out one important thing—I wasn’t able to grant more of the things your heart longs for. I always hope to bring back the time so I could live out every single day as if it were a grand MOTHER’S DAY celebration, to have much more time and opportunities to make you PROUD...and fulfill all the dreams you have for me and our family,” she shared.
