something i miss...

i miss stopping by her house to visit,

now i live here waiting for the place to sell.

i miss our frequent shopping trips and going out to dinner.

i miss seeing her face at work, we worked at the same place.

i miss her phone calls, just to see what i was doing.

i miss her giving me advise, she always knew what to say.

i miss her unconditional love and support, even when i did stupid things.

i miss her telling me that everything would be okay.

i miss hanging out with her outside while she played with her horses,

 now the fence is falling apart and the pasture is overgrown with grass.

i miss talking to her about our florida trip,

we had another one planned for next year.

i miss her when something super awesome happens,

because she is the first one i want to tell.

i miss her smile, her laugh, her hugs, everything about her.

i miss this lady.... most people call her mary

but i call her my mom

a little poem that i had picked for her service:

with tearful eyes we watched her suffer, and saw her fade away.

although we loved her dearly, we could not make her stay.

a golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands to rest.

God took her from this earth to prove

he only takes the best.
