When life is past of a mother
not father, sister or brother
When the morn now rises alone
and silence hears the telephone.

When warm hugs no longer are felt
from arms familiar and so svelte
When tears now fall from but one face
and pictures now sit all in place

Those moments only Mother knows
of times past where memory goes
The voice that said I’ll love you still
for all of forever until

A face in smile on countless days
and which lasts and forever stays
One when remembered helps us say
Mother, my dear.. Happy Mother’s Day!

For some of us, this is how it has to be...God bless all of those who may still wrap their arms around their mothers, and wish them the Grandest of Days...

Thank You Elan...yes,  I too am one who rises
to that occasion alone without a woman who
is very much a part of my life...even though
she is not here in my life...

There are many who endure without that
presence, through death and through
families that have split or children who
have never known their mother...

You know how it goes Barry.

Magnus darling boy Oh my this is a wonderful tribute to the memory of your mum. I know how you feel my mum died 16 years ago and yes I still miss her.

Your writing is so moving so beautiful that I’m left awed not knowing what to say. Absolutely excellent writing and you know I love this utterly utterly utterly


Love and warm stuff
As always

(big hugggssssss) Oh Barry, my heart cries out to your loss, sweet friend, I know how hard it must be to remember and cry just thinking about how those memories are missed so much; know that your mom will always love you so much and will never forget you and when the time is right you will reunite with her and forever you will be able to share these special moments with her forever! (sigh) My thoughts are with you, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

It's sort of a bittersweet occasion this year, but yes, Happy Mother's Day.
