Mother's Day

I thought of you this morning Ma, as I do most every day.
I miss the crazy things you did, your laughter and your way.

Your sunny disposition, your optimistic light.
Remembering the songs you used to sing to us at night....zzzz

And now I must, "Get on with it", as you would like to say.
Just had to say I Love You, because it's Mothers Day.

Lovely words in tribute to your Ma Johanne. My mum left her body in 2006 and she is still missed.

A lovely tribute to your Mom Johanne! :) I know it is hard when you lose a parent; it'll be 2 years for my Dad May 14th when he passed away from cancer and complications of diabetes…I wish you well Johanne!
