My mom passed away last night,almost 3yrs ago to the day we lost my dad,You feel like a small child again.I'm orphaned,and feel alone, not in the sense I have  no one because I have my husband and children but in the sense  am nobody's little girl anymore.I miss you Mom!

 

 

Mother�s Hands

In this restless realm can there be any greater demands,
Than those entrusted to a Mother's affectionate hands?
Upon her, the destiny of humankind certainly depends,
As her love and tenderness, all adversity transcends.

From the moment of birth and upon hearing that lusty squall,
Tender hands caress her precious little one so very small.
Caring hands that are just beginning a life of devotion,
Praising the Creator with a heart filled with emotion!

Steadying hands will guide the tentative steps of little feet;
Loving hands will prepare nutritious foods to eat;
Healing hands will tend each bruised elbow and knee;
Happy hands will high-five when sharing moments of glee!

Guiding hands will help to avoid life's treacherous shoals;
Teaching hands will assist to ever strive for noble goals;
Praying hands will keep the focus on worthy things above;
Molding hands will develop character, integrity and love.

When Mother has reached the end of her earthly quest,
And her time-worn hands are gently crossed upon her breast,
God will joyfully hold her hands in His own tender palms,
Saying, "Welcome home dear, you were the greatest of Moms!"

Jun. 26, 2007 at 9:41 AM I am truly sorry for your difficult time. I myself have lost both parents so I know how you feel. My mother died at the age of 56. Far to young and so much life left to live. God bless you in your hour of need.

Aug. 9, 2007 at 6:12 PM I didn't know you back then, but now that I've read this...I am so sorry.  I lost my mother when I was nine (9) years old...and my dad by the age of 24...there is not a day that goes by that they aren't in my thoughts...it's a big empty hole...but as they say, life has to go on.  You need to give yourself TIME though...that's what you will need.  I am here if you ever need to share or just want to talk about them.  I will be listening.  God Bless.
