Dear Mom,

It’s been almost a year since I’ve heard your comforting voice and seen your beautiful face. I long so much to feel your arms around me in only a hug that a mother can give. I want all this so much.

You were taken away from us much too soon; I was not ready, and I know you were not either.

Oh Mommy, I am so sorry this has happened to you. As much as I hurt from losing you, I hurt even more that you had to go through this and that you suffered so much pain and fought so hard just to die anyway.

I know you were scared. I could see it in your eyes, especially those last few minutes. I was also scared with you and for you.

Where are you now?

Can you hear me?

Can you see me?

Is it beautiful where you are?

I need so much to know that you’re OK. You were so scared when you left us. Saying “No,” you didn’t want to go. You fought so hard.

I hope it’s nice where you are. I hope that you’re happy and not scared anymore. I hope that your pain is gone. I hope you can hear me when I tell you how much I love you and miss you every night. I hope you can give me some guidance and strength to get me through this and to know just what to do.

Oh, how I wish you were here. I need you so much right now…Are you really with me?

Loving you and missing you deeply,
Your youngest daughter,
Vicki

My mother passed away a month ago and i miss her dearly. i don't really know how to cope with it. Your poem made me also cry. My mother passed away suddenly and I don't think I'll ever get over it. Some much was left unsaid, my yougest child is only 20 months old and the only memories she'll have are pictures of her wondeful and beautiful nana. Mom i hope you can see me and help me thru this because i don't know what to do without you, the pain is so overwhelming. I love and miss you so much. You are forever in my heart.
