19 Years

Time keeps moving
Even though you are gone
The moments tick off the clock
They bring me closer to you
The grains of sand
Fall through the tunnel
Leaving a void in my soul
Easier?
Healing?
Peace?
Not sure any of those
Will ever come
I keep pressing on
Hoping to make you proud
Constant fear of failure
Of falling just short
Today the ache is greater
A square on the calendar
Amplifies your absence
I try to reflect
Remember the good times
The memories that make me smile
Sunshine
Caregiver
Nurturer
Cheerleader
Guide
Support
Goofball
Best Friend
I miss them all!
They are all you
They are all My Mom

This picture. I cannot see it and not smile. This IS the pure essence of My Mom! Goofy. Fun. Doing whatever it took to make someone else happy. To see her kids smile.
