Missing Mama Happy Mothers Day in Heaven

Sally Frances Ayers 8-4-30 – 8-18-11

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 again to tell you goodbye. To say Mama I love you and I always will and hope that much of you, in me you instilled. The day 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 “Mama goodbye.� Someday I know all will be well, and I’ll see you again with stories to tell. Oh how you are missed. Until then my memories of you I’ll keep near and I’ll pass them on to those who are dear. Sadly Missing You Mama!
