God bless you Mum

Feeling rather lost my darling mother passed my heart feels ripped out leaving me empty inside She was 96 weak at the end I know she was glad to go she missed my father and was pleased to join him She was one hell of a lady very strong willed to the end she hated it when I cried told me not to be so silly I struggle to accept she's gone wish I could see her again she lives on in my thoughts my heart holds her close for Betty Hillier 9th of may 1029 to 24th July 2-25

My heart goes out to you…I am sorry for your deep loss. No matter the age, they are our moms. I was making a mac salad before my mom’s funeral, for afterwards. The music was getting to me, I put the can of peas on can opener. It fell off and spilled and I could hear my mom saying (as I was about to cry) “Knock it off, Kimmy.” Wrapping my arms around you in a hug.

Hi Shadow! Great to see you again on PS...thanks for following me...I'm following you now, too. Your poem deeply touched me. When my mother passed, I was left with a huge hole in my heart. Like you, I hold her close every day. Thanks for this beautiful poem and have a lovely week ahead, hugs, Sara
