A repost on her birthday
Published on October 15, 2006 By foreverserenity In Personal Relationships
Slightly altered from my last post of this prose I wrote for her.


Sometimes I want to get into bed with my mommy

To run to her for refuge
To tell her my dreams
To talk to her about my anxieties
To get her spin on things

To be safe and warm
Away from the maddening clouds
Of doubts

To see her smile
Hear her laughter
Brush her hair
To look into her face
Her eyes
And know that I’m truly loved
To see myself looking back at me

Sometimes I Just want to Get into bed With my mommy
and remember what it's like to be a child again
and hear the stories she used to tell
her smiling face a reflection of what love is

Happy Birthday mom, I miss you more than words can say.

Sad but beautiful, Serenity.

You know what good thing comes out of this ache for your mother? It makes some of us wake up and smell the coffee...we shouldn't take for granted that our mothers are around...we need to cherish as many moments as we can with them..and make sure we express our love often.

Take comfort in the fact that she was here, Donna. And that's something you can hold in your mind and don't have to take on faith -she was here.

Thank you Rose.

Definately! I can't express to you how happy I am that I did get to have one on one time with her the night before she died. We got a chance to have a deep conversation that little did I know was our last. I cherish that and all the memories. I get nostalgic sometimes but I'm happy she's at peace.

I do Joe, thank you. Yes she was!

And she was a proud one too! Thanks Doc!

Your lovely words reminded me of my own mother. Not only the love I have for her but especially the love my mother has for her mother.

My mother lost her mother when she was 30 and I was 7. My mother truly misses her every single day. In the years since my grandmother passed the yearning my mother has felt for "just one more hug from her" has never diminished.

Like the idiot I am I never understood it until I grew older.

I was the first born and growing up my mother and I were very close. As I grew into a adulthood we not only were mother and son but also friends. We had actual conversations. We had little things and inside jokes that only we shared. I now live far away from her and with so many things happening in everyday life sometimes a week or 2 will fly by without me calling her. Then something will remind me of her, a smile will appear on my face and I will call her and we will talk. Before you know it what seemed like a short call was really a hour long talk and when I hang up it gives me a feeling like a burst of energy.

Thanks, Donna for reminding me again what a special mother I have. I plan on calling her tomorrow. If your mother was as good as my mother and as good as her mother then we are all very lucky people. I got a real good feeling your kids are pretty damn lucky, too.

BTW .. the two women I love the most are Libras.

I remember what that was like for me when I was far away from mom who still lived in our island home.
