Momma, I hope we honored you and your wonderful 75 years over the past week. I am sitting in my rocker now at home, thinking about you and our family. I know you know how much we all love you, and I am glad you were able to pass with all of us around you and telling you how much we do love you,, and now are free of all suffering of the human body. Thank you for caring for me, teaching me to be a lady, and giving me wonderful siblings in this life. All of the beautiful and diverse faces on your memory board sprang from you, and you should be proud. Please watch over us all, and help our hearts to mend. Say hello to Mawmaw, Richie, and Daddy. Until we meet again…… Love always..
My dear sister, I will miss talking to you every week, laughing and giving each other recipes. God wanted you there. You are with our love ones now, and you don’t suffer anymore. RIP my dear sister. Love you always. Mary Alice
Moma… I just want to say again how much I love you and will miss you. This was read at your service and I don’t want to ever forget it so I’m putting it here as well.
‘?The Dash
by Linda Ellis copyright 1996
‘?I read of a man who stood to speak
at the funeral of a friend.
He referred to the dates on the tombstone
from the beginning’?to the end.
He noted that first came the date of birth
and spoke the following date with tears,
but he said what mattered most of all
was the dash between those years.
For that dash represents all the time
that they spent alive on earth.
And now only those who loved them
know what that little line is worth.
For it matters not, how much we own,
the cars’?the house’?the cash.
What matters is how we live and love
and how we spend our dash.
So, think about this long and hard.
Are there things you’d like to change?
For you never know how much time is left
that can still be rearranged.
If we could just slow down enough
to consider what’s true and real
and always try to understand
‘?the way other people feel.
And be less quick to anger
and show appreciation more
and love the people in our lives
like we’ve never loved before.
If we treat each other with respect
and more often wear a smile,
remembering that this special dash
might only last a little while.
‘?So, when your eulogy is being read,
with your life’s actions to rehash’?
would you be proud of the things they say
about how you spent YOUR dash?

I think this poem is very fitting for our mother, so wanted to have it here in her guestbook too. So adding another post. Love you momma. 🙂
Mother
We had a wonderful mother,
One who never really grew old;
Her smile was made of sunshine,
And her heart was solid gold;
Her eyes were as bright as shining stars,
And in her cheeks fair roses you see.
We had a wonderful mother,
And that’ s the way it will always be.
But take heed, because
She’s still keeping an eye on all of us,
So let’s make sure
She will like what she sees.
