February 5, 1928 - September 5, 1998

I made this page as a memorial to my mom,
as not a day goes by that I don't think about her.

God looked upon your tired face,
no cure was meant to be.
So He put His arms around you,
and whispered "Come to Me".
With tearful eyes we held you, and
saw you pass away.
And though we loved you dearly,
we could not make you stay.
It broke our hearts to lose you, but
you didn't go alone.
For part of us went with you, the
day God called you home.
A golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to
us, He only takes the best.
You left us beautiful memories,
your love is still our guide.
And though we cannot see you,
you're always by our side.
Our family chain is broken, and
nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one, the
chain will link again.

~A Mother's Walk~
The young mother set her foot on the path o life.
" Is this the long way?" she asked.
And the guide said:
"Yes, and the way is hard.
And you will be old before you reach the end of it.
But the end will be better than the beginning."
But the young mother was happy,
and she would not believe that anything
could be better than these years.
So she played with her children,
and gathered flowers for them along the way
and bathed them in the clear streams
and the sun shone on them,
and the young Mother cried,
"Nothing will ever be lovelier than this."
Then the night came, and the storm,
and the path was dark, and the children
shook with fear and cold,
and the mother drew them close
and covered them with her mantle,
and the children said,
"Mother, we are not afraid, for you are near,
and no harm can come."
And the morning came,
and there was a hill ahead,
and the children climbed
and grew weary, and the mother was weary.
But at all times she said to the children,
"A little patience and we are there."
So the children climbed,
and when they reached the top they said,
"Mother, we would not have done it without you."
And the mother,
when she lay down at night
looked up at the stars and said,
"This is a better day than the last,
for my children have learned fortitude
in the face of hardness.
Yesterday I gave them courage.
Today I have given them strength."
And the next day came
strange clouds which darkened the earth,
clouds of war and hate and evil,
and the children groped and stumbled,
and the mother said:
"Look up. Lift your eyes to the light."
And the children looked
and saw above the clouds an everlasting glory,
and it guided them beyond the darkness.
And that night the Mother said,
"This is the best day of all,
for I have shown my children God."
And the days went on,
and the weeks and the months and the years,
and the mother grew old
and she was little and bent
But her children were tall
and strong, and walked with courage.
And when the way was rough, they lifted her,
for she was as light as a feather;
and at last they came to a hill,
and beyond they could see a shining road
and golden gates flung wide.
And mother said:
"I have reached the end of my journey.
And now I know the end is better than the beginning,
for my children can walk alone,
and their children after them."
And the children said,
You will always walk with us, Mother,
even when you have gone through the gates.
And they stood and watched her
as she went on alone,
and the gates closed after her.
And they said:
"We cannot see her, but she is with us still.
A Mother like ours is more than a memory.
She is a living presence."
Your Mother is always with you
She's the whisper of the leaves
as you walk down the street,
she's the smell of bleach
in your freshly laundered socks,
she's the cool hand on your brow
when you're not well.
Your Mother lives inside your laughter
And she's crystallized in every tear drop.
She's the place you came from, your first home;
And she's the map you follow
with every step you take.
She's your first love
and your first heartbreak,
and nothing on earth can separate you...
Not time, not space...
not even death!

This is a picture of Mom, I think she may be around 10 yrs. old.
