MOMMY FAVORITE POEM  
I'm Free

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took His hand when I heard him call;
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way;
I found that place at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss;
Ah yes, these things, I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savored much;
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch
Perhaps my time seems all too brief;
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now, he set me free.
I'm Free
Dear Mom  
It’s been almost three (3) years since I’ve heard your comforting voice and seen your beautiful face. I long so much to feel your arms around me in only a hug that a mother can give. I want all this so much.

You were taken away from us much too soon; I was not ready, and I know you were not either.

Oh Mommy, I am so sorry this has happened to you. As much as I hurt from losing you, I hurt even more that you had to go through this and that you suffered so much pain and fought so hard just to die anyway.

I know you were scared, I could see it in your eyes.  I was also scared with you and for you.

Where are you now?

Can you hear me?

Can you see me?

Is it beautiful where you are?

I need so much to know that you’re OK. You were so scared when you left us.  You fought so hard.

I hope it’s nice where you are. I hope that you’re happy and not scared anymore. I hope that your pain is gone. I hope you can hear me when I tell you how much I love you and miss you every night. I hope you can give me some guidance and strength to get me through this and to know just what to do.

Oh, how I wish you were here. I need you so much right now…Are you really with me?

Loving you and missing you deeply, Your daugter vee vee....Love Love Always!!!
