Caitlin, what a nice thought. I hadn't thought of that myself. Our mothers are now reunited with their mother's (our grand mothers) and they are also with all their other beloved family. One day we will get to hug our mothers again too

thats terrible that person wants their mom to die..thats awful...89 is a blessing...my mom was 80 and that was a blessing too....I cant imagine not wanting my mom here....geez....it is all consuming, I am managing, but its hard...I'm beginning to enjoy things again little by little....I'm tired of being sad....and thats not what she wants

Thank you so much Rachel for sharing. Moms are so special, its so sad that we have to live the rest of our lives without them. I miss my mom so much, this emptiness is all consuming. One of my co-workers has an 89 year old mom and she wishes she were dead. I cry to think how much we wanted mom around but she left too soon yet these family that is tired of their mom gets to have her for a long time.

Rachel, I loved the poem. So peaceful and happy. It made me think of my mom as a happy guardian angel resting in the clouds. Thanks for sharing, I can tell your mom is a beautiful soul, I know how much you must miss her. My mom gave me a painting she did before she died. I'll treasure it forever.

 

On Mother's Day I was feeling really crappy and I started writing a letter to my mom. I remembered many years ago (I was 10) when my grandmother died, watching my mom cry. Then, a happy thought finally came out of all this- it would be my mom's first Mother's Day reunited with HER mom. Just thinking about that made me happy.

Rachel Lynn- that was such a beautiful poem.  I can so see my moma fluffing up clouds now.  It will make me think a little differently every time I see a cloud.  It also makes me remember laying out in the sun w/ my moma (before you knew it was bad for you) and talking about the different shapes the clouds made and little stories to go w/ the shapes.  A nice memory to end a sad day for me (you know....the up and down emotional roller coaster)

If you all don't mind, I wanted to share a poem my mother wrote when she was in high school....it makes me miss her talent, and how she envisioned heaven to be....I wanted to share

 

A SUMMER PASTIME

 

On long summer days when I'm left all alone, I lie on the cool velvet grass; and watch the white clouds with their linings of gold go floating so peacefully past.

 

The clouds look like pillows delightfully soft, fluffed by the angels above; I watch the clouds dancing with sunbeams so bright, these white downy pillows I love.

 

I'll build a tall ladder and climb up to heaven and there on a cloud I will lie, and sleep there forever in a haven of peace, just me and the clouds and the sky.

 

I hope you all enjoy this, I think its beautiful and it brings me peace....Rachel
