Moms World

Sometimes my Mom seems very lonely to me.
I suppose anyone would feel lonely after
seven kids grew up and moved away.
A home that once held nine, now down to one.
She became a widow after she lost her beloved
husband many years ago.
Later she would try another, but he was not a match.
Mom has lived a long life, she's seventy eight
now and unfortunately having her second fight
with cancer.
I sincerely hope she wins that fight.
Mom has many grandkids, her pride and her joy,
cute little girls and tough little boys.
I'm her oldest son and I live far away and
don't see my Mom as often as I'd like to
see her these days.
Still, I always love you Mom, whether we're
close or far away.

Sounds like a trip home is needed...
not so much for her...
as for you.

Go.

James, go visit. It may be the best thing for both of you. But really, I believe she's doing okay.

Oh, I truly loved this...it reminds me of my Mom.

This really touches the heart, thanks for that.

(I'm one from seven too!)
