Mom I Miss You.................

arewethereyet

Ok.........so here is my poem. I cannot write it without crying

To one who bears the sweetest name
and adds a luster to the same
who shares my joys
who cheers when sad

the greatest friend I've ever had

Long life to her
for there's no other
Will take the place
Of my dear Mother.

She bought a plaque for her mom in 1950 with this poem. I them bought her a cedar box in 1976 with the same inscription.

She did not have a long life, but she packed a lot of love into the years He gave her.

The tide recedes but leaves behind
bright seashells on the sand.
The sun goes down, but gentle
warmth still lingers on the land.
The music stops, and yet it echoes
on in sweet refrains.....
For every joy that passes,
something beautiful remains.


I miss my mom dearly and there is not a day that goes by that i don't think of her. It's been 5+ years since I lost my mom and it hurts as much now as it did then.

That's beautiful too!!

Thanks everyone for their words of support.

My sister and I drove down to the cemetary and put flowers on both sets (maternal and paternal) grandparents and my mom's grave too, who is buried right next to her parents.

After 17 years, it doesn't get any better. I still remember that Sunday morning when I was in the Army and I was on 24 hour duty that day. I had went home to grab some movies that I rented and that is when I got the call from my brother and sister...............
