Ode to my Mother
My First Love….”Mom”
You were a Wonderful Mother, daughter, Niece and most of all a Friend. You are and forever will be my strongest influence, even when we didn’t see eye to eye. Sadly, our time together in the finale days was in my opinion was cut too short but I understand, because now you are pain and illness free. So I ask myself…”Why cry for a soul set free? Miss her a little but not too long and not with your head bowed low. Remember the Love that we once shared. Miss her but let go. For this is your Journey. Always and Forever you are my Best Friend and most of all “My First Love”
I Love You Forever,
Neva
