I Lost Someone Important to Me

Today is May 15th.

It's a sad day for me. Thirty-seven years ago this morning, my mom passed away.

It happens to everyone, eventually, but it was a shocker. I had just spoken to her two and half hours ago the previous night. She was in some sort of pain and kept burping. We weren't sure what was wrong, but it was finally eleven-thirty and I was supposed to go to work the next morning. I will be forever grateful to God the last thing she heard me say was, "Good night, Mom. I'll see you in the morning...and I love you."

"I love you." That was the best thing I could have said to her. She died in her sleep knowing her daughter cared for her - deeply.

I think of you today, Mom. I remember all the good times and bad times you had while raising me and my stepsister and brothers.

You were a wonderful mom.

And, by the way - I STILL love you.

My heart griefs with yours, my eyes cries with yours, I feel your pain and longing and at the same time I feel peace, because I know, you could tell her still how much she meant to you and she knew in her last hours, that she was loved so deeply by her wonderful daughter. I am sure, there is still a strong bond between you and her and she is watching you from her place up there, telling every one how proud she is of you and how much she still loves you and will forever.

Dear Mum,

If I could have just one more day and
wishes did come true,
I'd spend every glorious moment
side by side with you.
Recalling all the years we shared
and memories we made,
how grateful I would be
to have just one more day.
Where the tears I've shed are
not in vain and only fall in bliss.
So many things I'd let you know
about the days you've missed.
I wouldn't have to make pretend
you never went away.
How grateful I would be to
have just one more day.
When that day came to a close
and the sun began to set,
a million times I'd let you know
I never will forget
the heart of gold you left behind
when you entered Heaven's gate.
How grateful I would be to
have just one more day. <3

@RobinPhoenix Did you write this? Did I inspire you? Answer is probably yes to both. You know how I feel...did you remember to bring an extra box of Kleenex?

@SW-User Thank you. It's comforting to know someone understands my feelings.

@SW-User And thanks to you, too. I hate this virus which demands "social distancing" to everything we do.

Big hug.

@MaryJanine I'm free from disease.

Kind of a real life Ben Richards.

@SW-User I didn't mean to imply you or everybody I know is sick. I'm sure if you were offering me hugs, you are and were perfectly healthy.

I have a friend who does everything imaginable for me (I am disabled) in my new apartment complex. A few weeks back, he developed an URI and was so ill he thought he had contacted Covid19. He told the office manager. and she immediately sent him into self-quarantine and told me since I "had been exposed" I wasn't allowed to associate with any of the other residents. I spent a full lonely 24 hours in isolation. Luckily, he went to the doctor and got tested the next day. Results, negative. We still practice "social distance" and disinfecting everything, but caution colors everything we do,

@MaryJanine I understand.

This is a confusing time for the masses.

A true Catch 22 situation.

Both isolation and socialization come with physical risks.
