Mom, I had a very tough time picking up your ashes on Thursday. Bill was with me and he took you to the car and seat buckled you in. For a minute, I could hear your voice. I wish I could make sense of why this happened to you. Rest In Peace with Dad, Steve and Norma.
You may be gone, but the memories I have with you will never fade. Crabbing, hide and seek, playing jokes on pop, the list goes on and on. You will forever be remembered. Your smile and laughter will forever be engrained in my head. I love you.
Mom
You lived your life thinking that no one cared
You thought you were all alone, your heart feeling tattered
I am here to tell you that you were wrong
'Cause you see - Mom - to me you mattered
I loved you when you were angry and mean
I loved you when you were kind as could be
I loved you not just because I had to
I loved you because you mattered to me
It hurts to know that now you're gone
And never will your face again I see
I hurt not because I am supposed to
I hurt because you mattered to me
I have to live on each day without you
It doesn't get easier as it is supposed to be
I feel the loss of you to my very soul
Because you see - Mom - you mattered to me
Your touch, your smile, your funny wit
The times it was just you and me
I will miss you, Mom, with all my heart
'Cause you still matter to me...
