Dear Mom

Suddenly without warning

Talking to your nurse

You died Saturday morning

 

I buried you Tuesday

So sad you had to go away

Did you know you would die that day?  

 

Notice the birthday outfit you wore

The special party you missed

As I left open that wooden door

 

My heart is weeping for you

This big old house is so very quiet

Everyone is silent and blue

 

Sulks and whimpers with teary eyes

Poor Patches is sitting in your spot

Waiting for you his heart just dies

 

Some say when your time comes

And your job is now complete

Your days on earth are done

 

You were the most wonderful Mom

A daughter could ever wish for

Hoping you resting and now calm

 

Do you see our relatives from the past?

What is it like on the other side?

Relatives who you saw slowly pass

 

Is it beautiful, bright and sunny?

You can walk and feel no pain

No more loud thunder, gray clouds and rain

 

Can you see us sitting here?

We can not see or hear you?

Are you still near?

 

Was that light flicker from you?

Can you send us more signs?

So we know you passed through?

 

We miss you.
1/11/28-2/2/08 Rest in Peace Mom

Staci what a beautiful write dear you offer to your Mom and I know she is watching over you and know she is so happy as she no longer knows pain. I talk to my Mom daily and sometimes when I really listen I can almost hear her whisper. Remember she will live forever in your fond memories and in your heart. Thank you for sharing.

Newfie Hugs are coming your way, Rose

Beautiful sentiments in this expression of love and honor for your mom...I send you my prayers and sympathy but remember also to continue something from your mom such as a favorite expression or saying that you can carry with you everywhere you go so she will always be with you.

Oh Staci, so happy you are back, but with heavy heart I grieve with you. Deeply sorry for the passing of your Mom as you spoke of her often and through your words she was quite a lady. Know that your mom lives on through you and how you made her proud. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.........

Be always safe,
Karen

As one who has felt the sting of death when my own mom died (nearly 18 years ago), I felt this one deep in my soul. God be with you; you are in my prayers, Staci!

I still miss my mom even now! The pain never really goes away, but at least I can deal with it now, can talk about her, remember the good (and not so good times) while she was alive! She lives on in my mind and heart!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :( >tears! <

Having experienced the loss of my Mom (nearly 18 years ago), I understand - words fail, except those that say, "I'm sorry." And I am.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Dear Staci, You are a good daughter, your lovely poem shows it. When you suddenly sing a tune or you suddenly say a word that your mom used to sing or to say, this means that your mom is attentive to you at that moment.
Love Emile
