Christmas Without Mom

To eulogize your life when we have spent so many years apart gives me comfort and memories of your precious passed life You speak to me in my dreams and share images of a castle by the stream it's walls shine of elegance a beauty of luster gold for your soul it now holds My Mother, you are now a jewel of heaven, a gem in God's crown as his loving arms hold you and his angels wings wrap around. I know you sit in the room of hearts and some day you will take me in your arms, while the angels play their harps like the soft swaying sound of a violin my soul will then depart. As I stroll to the waters edge of sadness and my reflection is looking back I see my mothers wonderful smile our characteristics and mannerism you blessed me as a child. Tonight I will sleep and you will whisper in my ear all the stories from the day that I was born, taking away my sadness and giving me comfort to help me not to mourn. So on Christmas morn when I awake from my dream that we shared I will not see the lights from my Christmas tree only the glow from the angel who has given me a life and a soul that is free. T Reams 12/3/15 I miss you Mom

Continue to fill that chair with love and memories. The first year is always the hardest. It is true about time, you never forget them but it helps with the mourning. Have a wonderful day!
