What a day... A friend of mine lost his mother who was battling cancer the day before yesterday, I was trying to write a poem but I couldn't. You expressed what I want to express, and May God keep them safe in his arms as well as give the family strength to continue.

I'm so sorry for your loss. This instantly brought me back to the death of one of my cousins last summer. She died, just a short time after she put her three children on the school bus. Their mother was very protective of them and hardly let them out of her sight, so I can't imagine what they are going through, not being able to see her everyday. It's scary how unpredictable death is; so we really have to make the time with our loved ones count, while we're here. I pray that God will watch over and comfort you and the family.

A sad but very heartfelt tribute. Your friend, her family and yourself are in my thoughts and prayers. May time be kind to you all. I lost my mother to a car accident when I was 17. I was also in the accident and was holding her hand when she took her last breath.. My heart goes out to you all. Lots of love.

Danika.

Touching and beautifully written

Wow.. I'm sorry to have to read this, as these situations are always extremely painful and life changing.. There's really not much to be said, this is a very unique piece in the sense that it's filled with so many raw emotions & thoughts.. Nothing really metaphoric, it all beats onto your chest as you read and the reader cannot help but to feel saddened..
