When I walk up to my fridge

I see my mama picture stuck

on there,

all I can do is stand and stare.

In our house in the kitchen

on our fridge you will see

many faces stuck all around

from the older grand kids to the

younger ones,

Katelyn is the newest pictures

to come.



So I walk up to my fridge

and I look upon mama face

inside of me I feel a

silent cry.

As my finger touches

her photo I say

Hello mama

I am so glad I took many

pictures of you,

because this way

I will never forget you

and never have to say good- bye



When I do walk up to my fridge

in our kitchen that my daddy build

with his own hands,

I can still hear my mama voice

yelling [Sam come help me open

up this jar ]

daddy would come flying out

of the living room

humming his favorite song,

corina, corina where you been

last night.



When I walk up to my fridge

I see many faces that

reflexed my mama and daddy life.

AS I take this picture off the fridge,

you know the one taken at the church

where mama was so nicely dressed.

I smile while trying to hold back the tears,

I feel so honored and blessed.

To have a mommy

like Macel you see,

and just that, the Lord placed me in her tummy.



Now when I walk up to my fridge

I am so glad that I took the time

to take lots of pictures of my mama,

so I can stick her face up everywhere.

then days like today

I can stop and stare

at her picture on our fridge

because some days to think

about her death

it more than I can bare.

As I walk around our house

it is now so quiet

as a mouse

As I walk into your bed room

I can still hear you mommy

singing a hymen or two,

or just being surprised

of all the blankets on your bed

that cover you.



As I step into your shoes

they do not seem to fit me

like they did you.

while I hear the tune from the

Price Right show on Tv,

or if it 4 o'clock it's time

to watch Doctor Phil,,,

these were just a few things

in your daily life that seem to

give you a thrill.



As I walk into our bathroom

I see your depends you wore

they are still stacked up

on the floor

ready for you to use once more.

all that medicine you took

and your doctor appointments

written in a book.

are all still just laying there

all I can do is sit and stare.



As I walk in the kitchen

your little table sits there

and your walker stands bare.

As I walk in the living room

your rocking chair

that once creaked as you

rocked back and forth .

This is just some of the things

I will miss about you mommy

wow, now what do I do,

with out you?



As I walk out on the porch

I can still see you and Aunt Tean

and Uncle Harley chatting

while many pictures of you all

I take.

As I look over in betty jean yard

I see her black eyed Susan flowers

you dearly loved have died off

for the winter.

but when they was in bloom

you would go over and stand

and take a picture

Mom you seem to love

living and raising your family

on this land.



As I walk around I am surprised

how fast my life has went after

11 years ago I moved here.

I feel running down my face

a few tears.

And I am trying to over come

being with out you

with out fear.

As I walk around our house.

This is beautiful...
So sorry to hear about your mom
and I pray the pain eases some..

Sorry about your mum

This is so touching.
I am so sorry about your mum.
I understand how you feel.

My mum is 78 this year. Just recovered from cancer. I am living with my parent, taking care of them. I feel every minute is so precious.


There is a famous saying in Asia.

"A mother can take care of 7 kids.
Can the 7 kids take care of one mother?"

Sending prayers to you and your family, God Bless

So sorry for your loss.

Lost my Ma six years ago.
She was Ninety-one!

Not read the stories, too much too soon as my own dad passed away 4 weeks ago.
Do want to wish you lots of love in this difficult time

_ i know how does it feel,
When i was a kid, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE DIE, until my Mama died. I felt numb, i didn't cry while she's in the funeral, i don't talk much, i just stare at her, and think and think if 'IS THIS REAL'?'
__ until i realized that acceptance is the first step to move on with your life(i cried so much)
a lot of things will change but MY LIFE SHOULD continue__
_my prayers for your mama, may she rest in peace_
#CHANGES WERE UNEVITABLE

My condolences to you and your family.

Such a soulful tribute to your Mother I am sure she is very proud of your great love for her and that her memories still teach you.

I will hold you in comforting prayer as you get through this going through time.

And hope you find peace that in the "greater calendar" you will be with Mom again some day shareing these great epithanies with her as you have so generousely done with us indirectly.

I hope you find "What Your Heart Needs for the Hard Days" by Holly Gerth ISBN 978-1-4351-6236-5 as comforting as it was for me when I walked this path a few years ago and still sometimes like to rewalk as I remember my parents.

Will hold you up in gentle thoughts and prayers Good Daughter and Mingle sister.

I'm so very sorry for your loss Mendy. May her soul rest in peace.

so sorry Mendy.

I lost a parent many years ago ,

I felt just as you described.

Please accept my wishes that you eventually feel peace, joy and hope again in the near future.

Dear Mendy,
I am so very touched by your tribute to losing your Mother.
Prayers are going out to you and the family to find the strength and love to live with such a loss.
My Mother is 79 this yr and I cannot even phathom the day I will have to endure such tragedy as you are facing right now. I will promise you this, I will take more pictures of her, of us as days go by, because of you.
Again, I am so very sorry for your loss and am asking God to hold you in his arms and comfort you and bring you peace.
She will always be with you. Speak of her often and she will never be gone.

Thank you all so much. I think when it come to our MOMS there
only one!

I am sitting out here
With just my granny
Gown on.
While humming, my
Favorite song.
I can not live with out you.,
Today the sun is so warm
Spring in the air.
But what do I care.
I can not live with out you,
The yellow daisy has
Popped up
Through the ground,
And I hear the birds
Singing all around.
But what do I care
I can not live with out you.
Mama not here to sit
On our porch.
We all miss her so much
Sometimes we just want
To hear her sweet voice,
Or feel her soft touch.
I can not live with out you.
But we know we must.
In our heavenly Father
We will put our trust.
Until we see mom again
After our life come to a end.
We will sit out on our porch
And just like we did with mom
And watch the squirrel
Run up and down the trees.
While thinking how can this be ,,because
How can I live with out you

Deepest sympathy...

Wow...I'm so sorry..but that's exactly how I felt when I lost both parents 8 months apart and I had to walk out of cottage forever. It's been eight years and I still grieve. ..it's something you never get over..u just have to find ways to stop thinking and keep your mind busy.
