Missing My Mother

“There is something about losing a mother that is permanent and inexpressible—a wound that will never quite heal.” – Susan Wiggs

What I would give

For just one more day

To hear your voice, to feel your touch

 

My time with you wasn’t enough

I should have spent more time

With you, learning from you

 

Now you are gone

Only my memories exist

But today they give me no comfort

So deeply touching & sincere . . . taking this raw desire down to the bone here & making the reader squirm a little bit. Sorry for your open gaping place (((HUGS)))

I believe we become orphans when we lose our parents - no matter what age we are. May you always feel her presence with you, and the warmth of her light!

I lost my mother in 2000. I can relate to this well.

I feel your pain, Mary. And I feel the love you still feel for her.
Today has been a tough day, they all are now...lost my mom in 2014.
But she is always in my heart.

A fitting tribute to your mom. Few words that speak volumes for your love to her. I like the pic you included.
