After posting my photos for this evening it just hit me again that my mother is no longer here for me to talk to or share my life. I miss her so much! I am now crying!!!!
My mother passed away on February 27
I loved her deeply; now she's simply gone.
All my life I'd known that I was loved,
Living in the circle of her arms.
I can't believe her love is not somewhere,
So strong it was, so much a part of me.
I feel it in the harsh salt of the sea
and in the stinging sadness of the wind.
I ride the waves along the rock-strewn shore.
No one watches me with fear and pride.
Now among the stars I am alone.
In her heart I had my only home.

I know there isn't much comfort for you right now but I'd send it if I could. (((((Hugs)))))
The lyrical words you've connected speak volume. I really believe that when you first scribbled those words on paper and recited them before posting the spiritual poem for us to read, she heard every word and smiled because she could not help feeling your profound love for her.
I will think of you especially today, my newest friend.
I lost my mother to cigarettes when I was 19. Although we were not close her death altered my life in ways I could never imagine. Even seeing her die from cigarettes I took up the habit and now have given them up as I am 45 years young and want to be around to dance at my granddaughters weddings! Your grief will turn into beautiful memories in time!
I am cherishing the days I have with my Mother ( Miss Emma)
I just can't imagine until that day comes.
God Bless
I lost my mother too, it's been almost 3 years now.
I know it is rough but I hope you'll remember the good feelings and wonderful times with her too.
When I am feeling downright awful, like the hole that is left where she should be in my life is a yawning chasm that I cannot see beyond, I remember a time when I felt so loved and cherished by what she said, and what she did and it helps. I miss her so much. But I do believe that all the support and love and encouragement she ever gave me is still with me. I carry it in my heart.
I'm sooo sorry for your loss! I lost my little sis in June of 2007. I can't believe that she's gone. In fact, there have been times when I have forgotten that she is gone, when I would be wanting to drop by her apartment to visit with her like I used to just months before. As times goes by it doesn't seem to get any easier... All in all, it takes a lot of strength to keep me going and just do my best to carry on with my life. Because I know that's what Valerie would want me to do. God bless you!
