Always a coffee drinker, I was not after the taste so much, but the much needed drug. My son, my baby boy that life turned into a man much too soon, took time off work one day, showing up with gift in hand - a cup of coffee, a cup of that really really good much too expensive for a momma working to make ends meet coffee. One taste and my mouth was in heaven... oh my...I was obviously thinking...coffee this good should be sinful; his eyes glowed with the pleasure of my delight. We grew up within a smile shortage and so to even the scales, God gifted him with a smile contagious and my Chris always found ways to spread it. Last year at twenty-nine, my baby left this earth and for all the time that I am chained to this earth, November’s days will black as coffee be, but coffee will forever hold his smiling memory.

Then drink up, my friend... and enjoy every smile. *S* This touches me so much... reminds me of how he remembered and celebrated you with the little things that felt so big to the heart. Beautiful work...  |

JellyGirl~ It's often difficult for me to read these pieces without tears ... so I can just imagine the difficulty for you in penning them~  If sharing helps (and I believe that it does) ... know that as you share these feelings with those of us who love you ... you give us a tender look into the depth of a mother's loss~ Love you~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, the spirit rejoices over what it has left. - Sufi epigram <))>< [email protected] |

It is a terrible thing to love that which death can touch, hard to live without taking the risk, harder still to untangle the feelings to serve them for our understanding. I salute you. |
