Do you regret, things left undone?

Mother passed on 29 July 2021. I pray she know no pain and she found a place to rest.

                      Do you regret, things left undone?

My mama song was easy. She wanted her cigarettes, her cold beer and she loved her dogs. She didn't want so much and I asked the night. Do you regret, the things left undone?

No easy life for no-one. We will become old, the bones in our body will hurt and the things we love. They will leave us. I know, everyone had a story to be written.

Dear mother, she did life her way. This was the good way. We cannot forget who we are, what we are. Life is good days and bad days. And time is a thief.

One day we will awake alone, sore body and death is waiting for us to give in. In the silence of the last minutes. What do we remember?

Do you regret, things left undone.

Mother pain is gone, life sadness is left behind. I pray she found the people, she loved. I hope she is dancing with old missed friends and she is singing a happy song with them. 

Mother taught me. Do what you love. Be who you are. Be brave and don't follow the path of the lonely people.

Tonight I will drink Johnnie Walker alone, to her. I will tell the night. I am like father, I am like mother. Please Spirit of life and death. Allow a kind heart in. Dear Mother is coming home.

Mother's love is something that can't not be explained and comprehended. Only when you become one you can understand.
Sorry for your grief and take it easy 💔
Life is one but the people most dearest to us will always stay close and look upon us.

Oh wow...this is a powerhouse my friend. As I get older I realize all of these points to be truths. And to think it takes so ling to learn those lessons, even when Mothers pain was with us since conception. Bravo...a wonderful write and an even a better read.

Thank you for sharing this. An experience/emotions so personal. I can't imagine your pain... I'm so sorry for your loss. Just remember she is with you everyday. That's what I want to believe about the ones I've lost anyways.❤
Keep her close to your heart.

And I know all too well about regretting things left unsaid. 💔
