Epitaph to Mom
65MOM
It was 5 years ago today that you left us, it seems like yesterday.
I know your last few months were not the best, in the hospital, in pain, I guess your leaving was a blessing for you, but a loss for me.
When I made mistakes, you were there, When I was in trouble, you were there. When no one else cared, you were there.
Young or old I was always your Son, we had a lot of laughs and we had a lot of fun.
Looking back, we can't say life was so bad, but I still didn't want you to leave so soon. that still makes me Sad.
I know I'm being selfish, I don't want to see you in pain.
When I was young you would feed and hold me, now in your final days I will do for you the same. Soon your body, will feel no more pain.
As a Mom, a Parent, you teach, council, cook, clean and so many other things we take for granted. I'm glad we had the time for me to say thanks, I appreciate that.
We don't always have that chance in this fast paced, money hungry, crazy world we have, life doesn't warn us, so you better say "Thanks" while you can.
There's no more comforting embrace like yours, that's the way life planned it. Now I'll have to embrace the memory of your Love and Kindness, the kind only a Mom can give.
Why are Moms special? Because in this world where everyone takes, Moms just give, without hesitation, without expectations, maybe a thanks or I love you here and there. Not much to ask for a lifetime of care.
So Mom, another year has passed, I'm here your there and on we go.
Remember this, spelled forward or back, Mom is still Mom, and that's a fact.
I Love you MOM......

Yes Rodney, we just go around once, I'm glad you found some value in my memories. Thanks
It was over eight years when my mother departed from this world, but in my heart and in my memory. she will always be with me.
I lost my dad15 years ago, now everytime i hear a joke I think must tell dad that one -then I remember. My mum she keeps keeping on - she iseverything you wrote about. I really liked your hub and Iam sorry for your loss in this world - I read once that if you talk about your loved one and always remember them with love they will always bewith you - it is only neglect and negativity that drives their spirit away.
I like your last sentence, it's being consumed with the nonsense of this worlds negativeness that drives a lot of things away.

Thanks for this hub, I am sure we all have those or similar epitaphs for our departed mothers.
