Well i did it i may as well add something so here goes.... Just for you mum i love and miss you so much it hurts i read this a while ago and would love to think it was from my mum and dad loosing them both was such a ordeal as there time to go was so near to one another my world rocked and shook it took hold and has had such a profound impact on my life and never have i felt this pain so deep...so just to say i love you both and watch over me whilst i sleep
When tomorrow starts without me, and I am not here to see,If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me,I know how much you love me as much as I love you,And each time you think of me I know you'll miss me too.But when tomorrow starts without me please try to understand,That Jesus came and called my name and took me by the hand.He said my place is ready in heaven far above,And that I have to leave behind all those I dearly love.But as I turned to walk away a tear fell from my eye,For all my life I'd always thought it wasn't my time to die.I had so much to live for and so much yet to do,It seems almost impossible that I was leaving you.I thought of all the yesterdays the good ones and the bad,I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had.If I could have stayed for just a little while,I'd say goodbye and kiss you and maybe see you smile.But then I fully realise that this could never be,For emptiness and memories would take the place of me.And when I thought of worldly things that I'd miss come tomorrow,I thought of you and when I did my heart was filled with sorrow.But when I walked through Heaven's gate and felt so much at home,As God looked down and smiled at me from his great golden throne.He said "This is eternity, And all I've promised you,Today your life on earth is past, but here it starts anew.""I promise no tomorrow but today will always last,And since each day's the same here there's no longing for the past."So when tomorrow starts without me don't think we're far apart,For every time you think of me I'm right here in your heart.

Today (1st Nov) is "Dia de los Muertos" or otherwise known as Day of the dead. It is a traditional Mexican festival to celebrate the lives of past family members and they party hard to try ''wake the dead'' for just one day and celebrate together. They make shrines and alters in their homes with pictures of loved ones that have passed. Its not at all morbid its a joyful way to celebrate your love for ones that have left us.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are so brave and can share your feeling about your parents. I am struggling with the loss of grandma and cannot face it yet. I hope to be able to celebrate "Dia de los Muertos" for her next year.

ReplyDeleteMy thoughts and prayers are with you both. Sassy, I know how much you grieve and miss both your parents and to lose them both within a short time period is more than anyone should have to endure. May God Bless you and help you find the strength to get through this....and come out a much stronger person. You are loved by so many, and your heartache is definately shared because you have allowed us into your heart with your honesty and open mind. For that we thank you!
