Remembering My Mom

Today marks the seventh anniversary of her death. It has been a long seven years I have missed her so much. And now as the day is winding down I am thinking of life and thoughts of her and the last seven years I have had to spend without her by my side. I ran across this beautiful poem and wanted it share it with all of us who have a mom in heaven today.

My Mother is Always With Me

My mother is always with me.
She's the whisper of the leaves
as I walk down the street.
She's the smell of bleach
in my freshly laundered socks.
She's the cool hand on my brow
when I'm not feeling well.

My mother lives inside my laughter.
She's crystallized in every tear drop.
She's the place I came from
She's my first home.
She's the map that I follow
with every step that I take.

She's my first l♥ve
and my first heart♥break.
Nothing on earth can separate us.
Not time, not space,
Not even death
will ever separate me
from my mother.
I carry her inside of me.

Oh death,where is thy sting? It is only in the missing. The joy comes in the knowing we will be together again, always to be devoted mother and loving daughter. This is the peace I find in my heart this day. You are never forgotten, Mom! Not a day goes by without you in my heart. Today I celebrate you, the life you lead, the life you gave me, and the eternity we have to remember it together.
