apologies for being so dark .......but mum died today.......... Mum died today … oh..you say it was six months one year and two days ago But mum died today The earth died today … Oh you drive your car and wend your weary way … But six months …one year and two days ago …. Mum died today Hey.. you eat your burger…… You have nothing to say… But six months one year and two days ago …. Mum died today The TV plays Yes life belongs there .. But six months one year and two days ago .. Mum died today Yes mum died..and darkness fell Mum died and we all could tell That six months one year and two days ago Mum died today |

Ray, It hurts. Each word expresses the pain and loss. I am glad that you are sharing the thoughts that you 'jot down' - and I send hugs to you. Alison |

Ray, I've been in your chair. And sometimes it just hits you hard without any explanation, without any warning - but more like an invisible hand touching your shoulder. Even after close to two decades, September 2 always hits hard - and then November 18 rolls in as well. So, while I know you're doing "ok", here's some  anyway. |

Teardrops are falling on my keyboard as I write this reply. The loss of a parent feels like a loss of a part of one's own self ~ I know. I recently loss both my Mom and Dad just 4 weeks apart. I felt every word you wrote and I send a loving, compassionate hug to you, Love & Everlasting Light, Linda |

Ray, on reading your reply, I got all choked up again. As the old adage goes, "The show must go on!" ~ play your loving heart out! She'll be listening ~ and smiling! Your Mom passing on her birthday is as if her life had gone full circle. God bless her! My thoughts are with you! Linda |

Ray, Loss is always hard but lessens ever so slightly when expressed. That was an excellent write. I am truly sorry for your loss. A mended broken heart is none the less broken, but perhaps a little more repaired then before. God bless you. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, |

This is so deeply touching, dear Ray, your bond of love will continue forever. My Mom visits in dreams very often and makes me feel her closeness beyond time and space. Wish you may feel this too. Big hugs. Margherita  |
