Saying Good Bye Is So Hard to Do (in Memory of my mother)

by Michelle   Jun 28, 2012


As I watched you waste away to nothing,
My tears I cannot control,
they seem to flow so freely now,
how could this have occurred?
I am not ready to let you go at 52,
There has to be something the doctors can do,
I want to scream at them and tell them to get on your case 24 hours more because I know you are a fighter,
you would never give up so easy.

    Parting is always sad.......lovely write which highlights what seems so 'unfair' in death.....dying young......but its the quality of life she put into those years that will be memorable.

      Watching my mother suffer for that entire month and half was just pure hell on the entire family. Mostly to my father. I don't celebrate my birthday anymore mainly because two days after mine is my mother's. She was 52 years old when she passed away, her father was 44 so wasn't her oldest brother. So I never got to meet my grandfather at all. Thank You for your kind words on my work. They mean a lot to me.
