I Miss My MotherA Poem For My Mom...I Miss You Most...I miss you, Mom…I miss you most... ... When I first wake up, in the morningI miss you mostWhen I am trying to fall asleep, at nightI can still see your face, your smile, Your curly hair, and hear your voiceI See the twinkle in your eyesThe way you ALWAYS managedTo make EVERYTHING okay,When things got toughYou showed more love,But that was just your wayYou never gave up easilyI miss you mostWhen the night sky is clear and full of stars,I miss you mostAt the first sight of the rising sun,When the mid-noon sun is a blazing ballGlowing in the horizon,It makes me feel, as if…that is how your love for your children was - always there,Always able to touch our heartsEven when you were traveling and far apartI missed you mostWhen you weren't close by,Now, I miss you mostBecause you have moved onTo a better place,I know that you are looking downFrom up above,You have become A part of the earth,The sun, the moon, and the starsThe universal energy of eternal loveI miss you, mom…I miss you mostWhether I am thinking of you…or not,I keep telling myself to be STRONG. That you wouldn't want me to beFilled with so much sorrow and be so lost without you,But the tears flow so freelyThat I surrender...to undo this lump in my throat,And all my emotions from losing you,Resurface…from the depths of my heart and soulI miss you mostWhen I dream of you,And then have to wake up to realityThose short visits of you, in my dreamsLeave me feeling with so much loveSo much joy and missing you soI miss you, momWhen I see other peopleWith their mothers,I feel like I've been punishedFor not having been a better daughter,I am oh so jealous.I love and miss you most, momBecause I still NEED you in my lifeI'd never imagined…Having to say goodbye to you, so soonI love you, momAnd this is me missing you…alwaysUntil its time to see you, againI miss you so, and wish I could see or even just talk to you one more time....Your LOVING Daughter, MarilynI saw a lady through your ring the other day.. I know you and I ONLY know about that, and I want to believe it was you...I ? you soooo much Mum....

Thanks, Marilyn, for the note. Yes, I had both your Mom and Dad on my mind as I opened my emails today. And, there was your note. I can only imagine your grief. I still miss my Dad, but am fortunate to still have Mom. She will be 91 in January and still living alone, but we keep a close eye and daily contact on her. Keep your wonderful memories, as they will see you through until we all meet again. Love and prayers to you and your family, Lois and Paul

MomFor all the things I didn't say,About how I felt along the way—For the love you gave and the work you've done,Here's appreciation from your admiring son.You cared for me as a little tot,When all I did was cry a lot, And as I grew your work did too-- I ran and fell and got black and blue.I grew some more and it didn't stop; Now you had to become a cop,To worry about mistakes I'd make; You kept me in line for my own sake.I got older, and the story repeated; You were always there whenever I needed. You guided me and wished me the best, I became wiser and knew I was blessed.So, for all the times I didn't say, The love I felt for you each day, Mom, see this so you’ll always knowI wish you never had to go.Lord, take care of my Mom and DadYour Loving Son

Love You! Phyllis

Mom,How does one thank a person for making their life possible. Because of you, I have a loving husband, three amazing children and two beautiful, perfect, granddaughters. You were a perfect mother in law, and then after my own mom passed away, you were the perfect mom to me. Thank you for all the sacrifices you made for us, and may you now be enjoying the light of God and the company of your beloved husband. May you rest in peace, and please continue to watch over this precious family of yours. xoxoxoxoxoxo

Death is a heartache that is hard to mend, but love is a memory that will never end. We share in the heartache in the loss of our Sister In-Law Dolly and we will truly miss her. Dolly was a very special lady and loved by everyone who knew her. We will cherish the countless memories that span over 40+ years; our trips to Boston to dine at Jimmie’s Harborside, Sunday dinners we all shared at “Grammy and Grampy’s”, Sundays at the beach, cruises, the trips to St. Louis when we took Jason & Brian back to college and who could forget the many Christmas Eves we all spent together. What fun times we had! In recent years, Dolly (and Jim) got us interested in RVing and were such a big help in teaching us the ropes. We regret that we traveled with them so few times because we so much enjoyed being with them.As the years went by and our families grew bigger the good times just got better. We are so fortunate to be a part of such a loving family. Dolly, we will grieve your passing but it comforts us to know that you are once again united with Jim and will be with him for eternity. Love, Sheila & Jack
