The Word 'Mom'


Conjures up memories..
of warmth,
daily hugs
safety
passion
fun
creativity
specialness
being loved
feeling whole
understood
accepted.

Missing her brings up
loss
tears
sadness
emptiness
being 15 again
losing a part of me
wondering what she would be like now
if still alive
if well and whole.

So there are days..
when I think of my amazing Mom
and feel like
I'm 15 again
fragile
partial
missing something
ever so blessed I had her for
the 15 years I did.

I love you Mom!
Happy Mothers Day!

Love,
Pat

What a wonderful tribute to your Mom. Mother's Day is hard when your Mom isn't around...
