For Mom Time goes slow when we are young Too fast in later years. My Mother shared so much with me And sometimes even tears. She taught me how to sew my clothes And shorten those too long. She showed me steps of tap dancing And her voice, so beautiful in song. And so in May, a last day spent A passage rite for me I helped take in her too large clothes So comfortable she could be. Reba, Freda and Mom were there Whenever we had a need To talk, they listened, these sisters strong, Whether or not they agreed. My Mom was the glue that heldus all In holidays we shared. I'll be missing her everyday Hoping she knew how much we cared. Renee/Maureen9/4/15 "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

It is sad when they go, but in many cases, yours included, there are wonderful memories . . . ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

First time I've seen that avatar of you, my friend - love it! Based on this wonderful piece of yours, your mother knew/knows, Maureen, without a doubt. You blessed her soul and have, in return, been blessed too, by being able to share your life with her. my heart, as usual . . . jimmy |

Thank you both. It's been a rough couple of days with a few more to go. She was 91 in June... |
