Very beautiful and touching tribute to your mom. As much as we suffer the professional that try to appear caring are beaten down by the scene like your mother day after day. It's hard not to have apathy when your daily life is surrounded by this continuing tragedy. I also feel the pull of the past and my mom as she passed in "09 and this year seemed to be harder than passed years. Thanks for sharing your beautiful words.

If they were not, they would have a hard time dealing with all the pain and suffering before them every day. It's strange how we miss them more on some days than on others. Sorry you are feeling her loss more now. Thank you for the review. Lydi**

This is so powerful and deeply passionate and expresses the range of emotions you had to endure watching your precious mother pass away. And the 'professionals' are generally desensitised to pain and suffering, you got that right, even if i am one.

Joining her on the roller coaster of pain and illness is something I will never regret, but it took a lot out of me. Thank you for the review. Lydi**

Hi Lydia...I have this knot in my throat right now. My mother isn't well. She suffers every day. Some are better than others. Hard for her to breathe. This touched me very deeply. Written with so much love.

Despite the hardship and great discomfort your mom was enduring, you stayed strong and supported her right to the very end !
A most noble write Lydia, the compassion and deep love you had and still have for your dear mother is clearly obvious to the reader and the sentiment throughout is indeed heartfelt !

I know you miss her Lydi, she is woven into the fabric of your life, her threads adding strength to yours... No one can tell us to "move on" when we are so interconnected. Yes, we live, but we remember and we feel their loss, deeply. Are we not human? This is a really "nice" poem Lydi and a great photo. Brought a smile.
My mom will turn 90 June 24th. I'm heading down to celebrate with dad and my brother. Wasn't sure she would make 90 when she got sick 2 years ago, but there she is a real party animal.. we... sssssssshhh don't tell her I said that or she will pull my ears... ouch! Be well Lydi

Thank you so much, Fran. I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day. Lydi**
How your words so movingly and beautifully express the love you have for your mother... and the pain you still feel in the losing of her... She must have been so remarkable to have raised a daughter as wondrous as you... May you always feel her presence... her love.. her courage flowing in you... Sweet blessings on this bittersweet day...
