I Miss You Mom I awake each morning to start a new day But the pain of losing you never goes away. I go about the things I have to do And as the hours pass, I think again of you. I want to call you and just hear your voice Then I remember that I have no choice For you are not there and now my heart cries Just to see you asgain to tell you goodbye To say, Mom, I love you and I always will And hope that much of you, in me you’ve instilled. The day that you left, I just didn’t know That you were going where I couldn’t go. And now all my memories of you are so dear But gosh, how I miss you and wish you were here. Who now can hear me when I need to cry? It’s so hard to tell you “Mom goodbye.” Someday I know all will be well And I’ll see you again with stories to tell Of how you were missed and how we have grown And how good it is to finally be home. Until then my memories of you I’ll keep near And I’ll pass them on to those who are dear.

Mudear you would always say to me that you never wanted to bury another one of your children. That’s a worry you don’t have anymore. On February 6, 2018 at 5:45 P.M., you saw the light. God opened up the Gates to Heaven, and you walked the stairs to eternal life peacefully into his open arms. No more broken heart, no more worries.

Sister my dear, I never saw my tomorrow starting without you. You made my life so special, just by being in it. I will always love and cherish the life we shred as mom, daughter, and friend. Until I see you again.
Love, Mom
Those we love don’t go away. They walk beside us everyday Unseen, unheard, but always near still loved still missed and very dear.

C Poem of Life
Life is but a stopping place A pause in what’s to be A resting place along the road to sweet eternity We all have different journeys Different paths along the way, We all were meant to learn something but never meant to stay.... Our destination is a place, Far greater than we know. For some, the journey’s quicker For some the journey’s slow And when the journey finally ends We’ll claim a great reward, And find an everlasting peace. Together with the Lord.
