| Look what I found!!!!!!!! |
|
| |
OMGAWSH GUYS!!!!...wow..I was cleaning my closet out today...and I found a crumpled piece of paper wadded and shoved into a dark corner.
And well being the curious and nosy person I am OF COURSE i opened it to see what it was..=)
Well as I carefully opened it up..I immeadiately recognized the writing as my MOMS!!!!..i was so excited to read what she wrote..what kind of thoughts she had..and displayed in her gorgous handwriting.. I now know where my love of poetry came from...it was from her..
And well I think there was another page somewhere..maybe its smushed in another corner )=..
Well, here is what she said..probably up to 5-10 yrs ago.
It seems lately I don't know you
In the ways I wish I could
It seems the months and miles have taken its toll
And I feel I'm growing old without you
Just because you don't hear from me
Doesn't mean that I don't care
You know your in the pictures on my walls
Your in my evening prayers
I don't want to be a room of strangers
That we call "the family"
Or Just smething to think about
Cause its a long hard road
When I carry this load
But its worth it all
When theres love at home
Don't make our love a memory something we think about
On holidays or lonely days
Dont make our love a memory
So if you will forgive my distance
I will forgive your walls
Cause its a long hard road
When I carry this load
But its worth it all, when theres love at home
Dont make our love a memory
Promise never to make our love a memory...
I think as her pen graced this wrinkled page, she was thinking of her dad...and if thats so..shes probably sharing these words now..as they both are in heaven..maybe they both made everything right...I hope that in eternity, we have the chance to make amends..to all that we have hurt, ignored and rejected....I hope that her and my grandpa..finally reconnected. because looking back I can imagine how hard it was to live without her dad..living so many miles away...i wish i got to know my mom better..while i had the chance..i now miss her soul..not just for my "Mom"..but for the beautiful person she was...I am now seeing the amazing and deep thoughts she had..but never told us kids...and i didnt know..i never got to know my mom, for the person that she was... |

our heart is a treasure chest and our memories are the treasures we store in it. you found a treasure today. cherish it.
i too miss my mom. she had a hard life . she was married six times, all to abusive men except one., but she would go through anything to provide for her 10 kids. we were close, but like your mom, she kept a lot of herself hidden. she was always my mother, but later in life, we became friends.
she gave you the gift of poetry. a piece of her lives inside of you. from your poems i have read, i believe you have made her proud. write on!!!!!! |

| Oh my goodness Charity! I am sooooo excited for you! I almost cried when I read this. Not because it is sad, but because of who your mom was. I love you Charity and am so glad you shared this with everyone. I am going to share this with the entire family. Your mom was such a blessing to everyone she encountered. I am so proud of who you have become. Every time you pray, laugh or just look at me I see your mom shining through you! |

Oh! That poem is so precious! I thought it was a poem written for you! I swelled up with tears..
being a mom myself, and knowing how much I long for my daugthers and son, to know
how much i love them - though I may lack in knowing how to form its expression.
You are a blessing SparkyElmoNut!!! (Charity). |
