Miss You Mama I have now reached the age that you were then, Dear Mama when you died. There've been so many times I needed you To hold me when I cried. Did you know when I lost my first born child? Were you sad, did you cry? Did you worry when I was mad at God For letting my son die? Did you speak to God about me, Mama? Somehow I've gotten through. I am sure you wanted to comfort me The way you used to do. Is your grandson there with you, dear Mama? If so, please give a sign. I'd like to think your arms are holding him, Since he can't be in mine. He was so sure he was your favorite. Each grandchild felt that way. You'd more than enough love to go around. We miss it to this day. Joyce 7/02/02 |

OhJoyce~ This is truly so tenderly touching to me ... especially today~ I experienced the flutter of my mother, in her earthly talisman of the butterfly, today ... I believe she came to let me know that my brother, Mike, is with her in Heaven~ I miss them both so very much~ Your poem just took me to my knees in prayer for you~  Beautiful, dear friend~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Thank you dear Krissy and Dear Marge. Your hearts are tender. I know this is an anniversary for you Marge as it is with me. I sometimes think if his Daddy could still have been here and we had lost him together it might have been easier to bear. And his Grandma. Love, Joyce |

 (BIG HUGGSSSSSSSS) Oh Joyce, this is sooooooo heartbreaking, sweet friend, my heart goes out to you, but I know deep down with all my heart that your mom will never forget you and she is always guiding you with her love for your love will last forever and she will always have the heart to listen and to forgive when you need it the most! (sigh) This is powerfully heartfelt, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Joyce, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you!
