Today is the first year anniversary of my mom's death.
The days leading up to this have been tumultuous for me to say the least. I can now finally watch a death & burial scene on the television without bawling my eyes out!LOL! I've been up and down and up again. Through all those emotions I've learned to laugh and remember with fondness what she gave to us her children, her love for life and her caring for others. She gave us "some of the best days of our lives" (quote from Bryan Adam's song Summer of '69!)
I'm a product of her and I continue proudly to teach what she has taught me to my own kids. She was a beautiful person, who left us too soon.
I planned on writing something new but I wrote something about her some time ago and thought it more fitting to re-visit it again.
I remember you always mom and I will always love you!
Etched Into Memory
Your face
Each line
Your lips
its touch I feel
Your eyes
deep, beautiful, soulful
Dark brown, long lashes
Your nose, nicely defined
Your body
As you lay there
I look at you
trying to memorize your looks
Youthful, exuberant
Patient, trying
Protective
Your arms I feel around me
Still
Your smell
I breathe deeply
The scent of you
I’ll always remember
Forever
Etched
Into my memory
