Happy Birthday, Mom - Part V

You were a mother who was both special and divine. If you hadn't died, today you would've turned sixty-nine. I would give anything if you were still here. Everybody loved you because you were a dear. You died over four years ago and it was the worst thing I've ever been through. When they said you'd die, I felt helpless because there was nothing I could do. The day before you died, "I Love You" were the three words that I said. When I saw you lying motionless, it was sad because I knew you were dead. The doctors couldn't save you after you became ill. It took two years for this heart of mine to start to heal. I still miss you and I have something to say. I'll always love you Mom, Happy Birthday. [Dedicated to Agnes Johnson (1948-2013) who passed away on March 6, 2013.]
