Thinking of you Mom everyday and especially on Mother's Day.
I miss the warmth of your gentle hug and the love I felt when my arms were wrapped around you. I miss seeing your beautiful smile and the sound of your voice saying my name. I miss hearing you say, ‘I love you’ and me saying, ‘I love you’ in return.

Mom, I haven't heard your voice in 5 years, but my heart still has conversations with you every day.
Now I know why you always told me to be strong.
You knew that one day I would need to bear your loss.
Always in my thoughts and forever in my heart.
I miss you dearly.

When we lose someone we love, we must learn not to live without them, but to live with the love they left behind.

Today, like many other days brings special thoughts of you, of happy times we shared and caring things you used to do.
And once more, it's a reminder that life's road is sometimes rough because the time we shared just wasn't long enough.

Loss has taught me many things and now I face each day with hope and happy memories to help me on my way.

Forever loved, always remembered

Mom, it's been 3 years today that you passed away and I miss you so much.
Time doesn't make it better, time only forces you to accept it.

My mother, my angel, I miss you everyday. The pain never leaves my heart.
It's been a new journey these last 3 years and I have had to learn to walk again with the path you left for me.

RIP my beautiful mother.

Missing you at Christmas, Mom
There's a little place within my heart
That is with me every day
A place where all my memories
Are softly tucked away.
It is the perfect place in my grief for me to go,
For words could not explain
How very much I miss you so.
And now that once again Christmastime has come around,
It's where the sweetest memories and thoughts of you are found.
I love you Mom and miss you today and every day.

I hide my tears when I say your name, but pain in my heart is still the same.
Although I smile and seem carefree, there is no one who misses you more than me.

My mother died 2 years ago today. In some ways, it seems like more than two years has passed since she died. Her absence is part of my daily life now. But there are still times when the wound still feels fresh. At some point every day, I think I should call her and have to remind myself I can no longer do this. But I can keep her memory alive by sharing stories about her.
Mom was my biggest fan. Growing up, the word that I associate with her is love. I remember as a child that it was unconditional and expressed often. I knew she was proud of me, but I never felt like I had to do anything to earn her love – it was just there.
Near the end of her life, I came to understand what a strong person my mother was. My mother had grit, warmth, a positive outlook on life, and an independent streak that served her well during the last three years of her life.
Here’s what I am missing on this second anniversary of my mother’s death:
  The way her face lit up a room when she smiled
  The warmth of her hugs
  The way she loved to celebrate
  The love in her voice every time she spoke
May her memory be a blessing.

It's Mother's Day and my mother is still here. Just in different ways. I may spend the rest of my life learning to live with that difference. That's Ok. She was too amazing to warrant anything less.

Happy Mother's Day Mom.
Thinking of you this day and every day.
I never truly learned what the words "I miss you" were until I reached for your hand and it wasn't there.

Those we love don't go away.
They walk beside us everyday.
Unseen, unheard, but always near, still loved, still missed and very dear.

Mom,
One more day, one more time
One more sunset, maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again, I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still for one more day with you

Missing you, Love Gail

Mom, today would have been your 95th birthday.

When today starts without you, I don't think we are far apart, for every time I think of you, you're right there in my heart.

You held me first. You loved me first. And my heart will always be tied to yours.

Your loving daughter, Gail

When I think of Aunt Aliice I remember a wonderful women who always made me feel great.

She would say I was her favorite Nephew.

I believe we will all see our loved ones again.

This is a comforting quote from Cliive Staples Lewis.

(There are better things ahead than any we leave behind).

In our hearts and our prayers.

We will forever miss her.

Mom Scott
That is how I thought of you. My other Mother. Mother of my dear friend Gail. You were full of wisdom, courage and humour. You passed these wonderful traits to Gail. You will be missed. May you rest in peace.

I remember when I was a child, how I would walk up the hill and hope to see Aunty Alice's Volkswagen Beatle parked across the street from home. Oh, happy day when it was. Aunt Alice had a special rapport with children.
I have admired her courage in life, her humour and grace.
So many happy memories. Just before she passed away we had a chance to say we loved each other. I am grateful for that Gail, she raised a special daughter.Love, Lesley

When I think of my Aunt Alice I reflect back on many happy times at the cottage. I remember the whole family squeezing in for Thanks-Giving weekends together, bringing pounds of Laura Secord chocolates to disperse and trying to catch that flying squirrel looking down at us all from the fire place mantle. When I spoke with Aunt Alice over the past year I recited these times and she said we were so lucky to have had them. I agreed.

I will miss you Aunt Alice but I have many fond memories of you that I will always cherish.

"Love is not changed by Death. And nothing is lost and all in the end is harvest."

(Gail, your memorial was befitting and very elegantly done).

Aunt Alice, you were always kind and considerate to me when I was a child. I loved visiting your Richmond Hill home and playing with John and Gail. 

When my Mom was very sick in later years you were there for us all. Your support was unconditional.

Sabina always appreciated your honesty and sense of humour and liked you very much. Your keen sense of intelligence shone through.

Aunt Alice, rest in peace. You won't be forgotten by those you touched. You will live on in our thoughts.

(Gail you did a superb job on this fitting memorial to your Mom. She would be greatly pleased by it.)

Bill and Sabina

A memory from my mom's childhood

December 3, 2020
About 15 years ago my mom and I went to Manitoba and retraced all the the little towns she grew up in. She was born in 1922, the oldest of 5. Hard times...

In one little prairie town (Seven Sisters Falls), we stopped the car at the tiny school that still existed. She said "see that field that goes on forever?" Yes, I said. There was a house about a mile or more on the other side of it where her family lived. She was about 11 or 12 at the time. She told me how she trudged across that field in the winters with 3 siblings trailing behind her carrying everyone's lunch for the day. As usual for those times, too much responsibility at too young an age. When she reached the school house, the teacher who rented a room directly across the street (she pointed it out) from the school gave her the strap for being late on several occasions. I asked her if she ever told her parents about this and she said no because they had enough on their plate and she didn't want to burden them.

I never loved my mom more than at that moment. We don't know what tough times are.

A daughter's journey of living without her mom

November 2, 2017
My mother declined over a period of 30 months, and during that time, our roles steadily reversed. I loved her dearly, relying on her strength, and I grieved for her as she retreated from my life.

The morning after her death, my first emotion was relief: I would no longer have to worry and her suffering was over. That relief quickly mushroomed into overwhelming grief, and it would take me time to learn to live without her. The death of a mother is the first sorrow wept without her.

Just because we have a warning that a loved one will die, doesn't mean we are prepared for the loss. No matter the relationship or the age, few people are ready to say goodbye.

Each of us needs time, space and extended support to heal and hopefully, find peace.

All endings are also beginnings. We just don't know it at the time. I am still on this journey of healing and discovering new beginnings following the path my mother left me. Losing a mother doesn't happen in a moment. It takes years to appreciate the impact of what's gone.
