Thank you Sunny for a beautiful story. Your words make it very clear how special she was to you and to everyone. I lost my mom years ago when I was just 24...she was much too young. I still miss her and wish I could say goodbye. But now when I think of her, a smile comes to my face and I remember all those wonderful memories. So she's not really gone.

Such a nice tribute to your mom, Sunny! This post is really nice !!
My mom has been gone 10 years last month, I still miss her, I am an only child and my parents separated when I was just 7, so it was 'mom and me' for a lot of years. We had a special bond also and you reminded me of that ..:)

I do not remember who said that "The memory of the...

I do not remember who said that "The memory of the heart is the immortality of the humble." As long as we think to those that we lost, we loved and who loved us, we prolong their life a little bit ...

Very touching, Sunny. Interestingly enough, my mother also passed in 1993...and I, too, miss her greatly and think of her every day.

Thanks for a wonderful post.

What a lovely tribute to your Mother. I still have my Mother and I thank God every night. But you also have to remember, I have a young Mother, she was only 13 years and 10 months old when I was born. She still lives alone, Dad died some years back. I was never close to my Father. I know when my sister passed, in 1983 at the age of 42, I would catch myself going to pick up the phone to call her to tell her something funny, or just to talk and then remember, I couldn't do that.

I can't imagine how it will be with my Mother. She'll be 87 in Dec. I know she doesn't have a lot of time left, but there will never be anyone I can talk to and with like I do my Mom.

I had a gentleman send me a little hand written note in Calligraphy and it said, A Mother is a woman that can take the place of all others, but whose place no one else can take. How true that is.

Again, a beautiful tribute to your Mother.

Lovely tribute to your mother and the poem is very touching. Having lost family members without the chance to say the farewell words, the poem expressed my feelings in a beautiful way.

2009-09-26T23:02:02.180-04:00

Your post made me cry, Sunny. My sweet Mama died in 1991 and I miss her also--just like you miss yours.

I had a bad first marriage (even though I have 3 wonderful sons from that marriage). BUT--my mother never got to meet George. She would love him so much --and be so happy for me.

Love and Prayers, Sweet Sunny,
Betsy

What a lovely tribute. My relationship withmy mother was rather difficult at best, but we were on our way to crossing the bridge when she died. Now I miss her.

What a beautiful poem! You are so lucky to have such wonderful memories to treasure. I lost my own mother when I was too young to remember her at all.

A really nice Tribute to your Mother. It is almost the same way that your Mother met your Father, as mine did. My Mother met my Father over in London during WWII sometime in 1944. They married and I came along in March of 1947. I remember my Mother very well, but my Father I never knew. I lost Mom on Dec. 22, 2004 @ 1:09 p.m. at the age of 85 to Cancer.

What a touching story of your mom. My mom died when she was 52 years old and I was 24! That was many years ago and I miss her very much. I wish we could have had the fun and experiences that I now have with my daughter.

What a lovely way to honor your mom's memory.

I am so happy I still have both my Mum and my Dad around and I hope they will be around for many years to come!

The poem was really lovely.

A beautiful tribute to your mom! I'm so glad you had such a wonderful relationship with her. I didn't have that, but I think good can come out of unhappy experiences and it did make me so determined to be to my children all that I had wanted from both my parents. I can only hope that I have succeeded, but I do have wonderful relationships with all four and that is the greatest blessing of all.

Thanks for sharing and for the very lovely words.

A wonderful tribute to your mom.
My mom and I have not always seen eye to eye and we had drifted somewhat a part. Just recently things have made a turn around and I feel close to my mom again. :-) I thank God that it has happened before it was too late.

2009-09-26T09:59:28.651-04:00

I think of your love and friendship and that makes me warm....I did not have that with my mother. Didn't even know her. And, I'm always happy when I hear that two other women experienced such depth of emotion between them.

But, mostly I am struck how blessed your mother was to cross over into her next life, so peacefully from this one. Blessed. Truly.

And, blessings on you as you shared her with us.

They never really leave us completely do they? I understand your pain but also think it is wonderful you have such great memories of your Mom. She passed in the gentlest of ways, fitting for a gentle woman.
I love the poem, the first four lines sound in my head when ever I lose a loved one.

The poem expresses very well the sad sudden loss of your mother... Having lost my own mother 2 years ago, I understand the void in your heart.
