Dear Mom

Dear Mom:

A month has gone by and I am missing you.? Little did I know on the morning of March 30th, God was going to call your name and take you home. Losing you has created an instant loneliness … an emptiness that can never be filled. Pain and sorrow constantly persist, but my faith will keep me strong. You will be part of me always!

Our family’s chain has been broken, but we must remember as God calls us one by one our chain will link once again. There is another song called, I’ll See You Again by Westlife ? it says it all.

Love you much –
Your daughter,???

My Loving Mother …

May3

Mom:

The family will never be the same now that you are gone but I am trying my best to focus on the positive facts of life.? Thanks to God we had you for nearly 90 wonderful years and the memories are endless.? My favorite memories are when we lived on Big Branch out in the middle of no-where.? What a wonderful place to grow up and if knew then what I know now I would have probably enjoyed it even more.

You were 26 in August of 1948 and I was born in December, the fifth child.? I remember you telling me it was a cold morning when I was born.? You also told me that I was a happy baby and you used to feed me crackers and milk to supplement the breast feeding.? To this day I still love crackers and milk.

I fondly remember all the food we grew and canned, green beans, tomatoes, sugar beets, cabbage, cucumbers and the list goes on.? We picked every berry known to man, strawberries, blackberries, rasberries (Dad’s favorite), huckleberries, blueberries and you canned or made juice from everyone we picked.? Did we ever do some fancy eating?

I could go on and on but I just wanted to tell you what a wonderful Mother you were.? We could have ordered a special Mother and not done as well as having you.? I also wanted to tell you that we miss and love you dearly.? I miss your hugs the most as they were some kind of special hugs.? We will try to live our lives fully here on earth and look forward to joining you in Heaven.

Your Loving Son,

Willard Short

It’s Lonely Here Without You

Apr19

?MOM

It?s lonely here without you,

I miss you more each day,

For life is not the same to me,

Since you were called away.

To your resting place I will visit,

Place flowers there with care,

But no one knows my heartache,

When I turn and leave you there.

Love you Mom –

?Your daughter – BJ
