It's been 4 months since you've went home to the Lord and has been very hard without you here Mom. Tomorrow will be even harder because it's fathers day and won't be able to see or hear your voice to tell me how proud you are of me and I'm a good dad. I truly miss you Mom and lighting another candle in your memory.
My mom was a very strong and loving woman who truly loved her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was everything to me and truly will miss her presence,smile,laughter and motherly advice. Lord please accept my mother in your heavenly arms, give her the peace and rest that she truly deserves.
A poem for to my sister Carolyn Joanne Rufus
She is Gone
You can shed tears that she is gone or you can smile because she lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back or you can open your eyes and see all she's left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see her or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember her and only that she's gone or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back or you can do what she'd want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
