I ask myself, "When will the tears stop?" I realized today the answer is never.
Love you Ma.
I have many fond memories of Aunt Phyllis. At times I struggle with her death but at the same time so grateful she's able to be reunited with her husband, my uncle Gunther, her mother, and all the others that have gone before her. She is in no more pain. She sees now pure beauty and love. And she is looking down at all of us and is proud that she can call all of us her legacy. I used to love to hear her yell. I never got nervous, because I knew how much she loved all of us. I will always remember her and will surely miss her. My sincere condolences to her children, her sisters, and anyone's life that she has touched just like mine.
I sure miss fried chicken dinners. Ma was the best cook. Who am I going to call for recipies now?
God so loved the world that whoever shall believe in him Will not perish, but have eternal life.
Before grandma got sick she would let me spend the night i would sit on her lap and we would watch cartoons before we went to bed she would sit and laugh with me she took the place of my father when he wasn't.
My mama was the strongest person I have ever known. When life got rough, I would move back home just because I felt so much security. I knew she would fight any battle for me. As an adult, I am so honored to say she was not only my mother but my best friend. I could share all my thoughts, opinions, or just talk about the news and we agreed about almost everything. I loved hearing all her stories about her younger days. I will miss being able to talk to her. I will miss hearing her laughing at me saying i am stupid because I am trying to do the running man or some other goofy dance. When my mom left she definitely took a piece of me with her.
"May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind always be at your back, may the sun shine warm upon your face, and until we meet again, may the lord hold you in the palm of his hand" This is a Gaelic blessing that seemed appropriate.
Not everyone can say this, but I had a wonderful relationship with my mother in law and I loved her dearly. I was fortunate to have been able to spend time with her this past year and that in itself is a blessing.
