I lost my Mother when I was only 14 years old. I don’t have a lot of memories of her but the ones I have are good ones. Everybody loved my Mom. She was the type that was always happy. Always had a smile and a loving heart. She loved her family.
Sadly she was taken away too soon. She was only 39 years old. A heart attack. Way too soon to leave. But no matter the age, we are never ready to let our loved ones go. I dedicate these roses from Dustin’s garden to my loving Mother, I lost her many years ago on this day. I always smile when I think of her and I know that makes her happy. Treasure your loved ones in your life. You never know what the next moment holds.

Nice post! Nice picture!
Thank you for the comment Georgi.
You have a great point that I really like and appreciate so much, that we should treasure our loved ones in our life.
Indeed we should Albert, we never know what tomorrow holds.
Another reminder to treasure those we have in our lives.
Carol, you’ve moved past some deep painful loses. Every time you share, you help the rest of us. Your mother is still with you, always.
Yes I have Doc from an early age. Things I should not have had to endure but I am still here! Thank you for your continued support. Helping others I feel is what I am here for. That, in turn helps me.
The best thing we as humans can do, is reach across to the person we are with and simply say I am here, now.
How kind, you are absolutely right Doc. Unconditional and non-judgmental support.
My wife is a Hospice Social Worker, she spends all day dealing with people as they prepare for their next journey. Her job is to help the family prepare to let go. She says sometimes that is the hardest thing for anyone to do. But once they are able to move on, they find so much joy in remembering the person at their best.
Wow, it takes a special person to have that job. Your wife is like an angel. My Dad was on hospice when he died last year. Each one of the nurses were my angels. They helped me more than I could tell them. I had to let go and they were right there.
Mothers are very special. You are right, best to treasure those close to you and seize the day!
Sorry you lost some dear people. I lost quite a few people I had become close friends in my work as a home carer. I also miss them and both my parents very much.
I know Pam. I have lost way too many loved ones. Parents and siblings. Not fair at all. Sorry for yours as well.
May almighty God grant rest and peace in next world.
How kind of you to offer these words.
Join all of the aforesaid, to my mind, it helps you to stay in constant touch with your mom.
Thank you for your encouragement.
I try to hold on to my loved ones everyday, because I know life is full of uncertainties. The flowers are beautiful, and I bet she is still gazing upon them knowing how much you love her. She sends her love back I am sure of it.
You are right LaJenna. She loved pink roses. Thank you.
I’m so sorry about your mother, but the idea of writing is really original
Thank you Robin for your kind words.
I am so sorry that you lost your mom so soon, they are essential in our lives.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Life can be tough sometimes.
