Losing your independence
You took mine
I gave as freely as I could
Kicking and screaming as I was
I couldnāt give enough of me
To reclaim your days gone by
But I tried
And then you left
It was your time to go
Everyone said so
But they didnāt see
The pieces of me you clutched tightly
As you faded away
Where are those pieces now
Do they still exist
I miss you Mamaā¦ every dayā¦ I especially miss our Sunday afternoon drivesā¦ with stops for forbidden ice creamā¦ I miss you singing a little off keyā¦ andā¦ swatting ChowChow with the fly flapā¦ I miss her tooā¦ you both left me at the same timeā¦ I knowā¦ life goes onā¦ I have my tiny haven at the lakeā¦ I have Thelma and Louiseā¦ but thereās a part of me you will always keepā¦ tend it well.
Rest in Peace
Jane
Oh Jane this is so beautiful. Our lives are never the same when we lose our Mothers. But life goes on and so must we.
Love you ā¤ļø
So true, Leah… and I know you have been through this sad time and have continued… day by day. Love you.
Jane,
This is so exceptionally beautiful. Thank you for sharing your heart as I really felt it in mine. Love you friend!

Thank you Cheri… I felt it in my heart… but I also felt in yours and so many of my dear friends who have lost mothers recently.
Oh Jane, a perfect tribute for that difficult time of life.
I believe the pieces are only well worn, & will be stronger when returned to you after months of precious memories flood your soul.
Love you, my friend

Joyce, I know you know exactly where I am and appreciate your words of encouragement and love! Jane
