46 years ago today, Mommy was the worst day of my life, I know now God must have had a plan for you. I know he has you watching over all of us everyday, you have gotten us through so many hard times, but it is never the same without you! I love and miss you every single day, my heart still breaks every-time I think of you , Lots of hugs and kisses, see you soon enough mommy!

Hey Mommy,

It's 46 years you have been gone but why does it still feel like yesterday that you left us? I think that's a good thing because you are as fresh in my mind as if you just left us yesterday.  Guess what I did today that without a doubt you were right next to me. I was watching a YouTube video on how to replace the drainpipe under the kitchen sink.  Once it was done and working great, I stood up and thought, If it wasn't for my mother being able to fix anything I might never try things that seem hard.  You are my inspiration when it comes to anything I find myself doing. I remember one day I walked down into the basement on Cooper Street and found you using cement and making a grotto for the statue of the Virgin Mary.  I remember standing there watching and wondering how you even knew how to do this. You have clearly imprinted on your children in just the few years you were here.  Jeannie is so much like you and clearly the seamstress in the family and Walt the builder and fixer of anything. Yesterday I gave McKenzie a task of making tiny mice for a Diorama I'm helping little Gloria make for school.  McKenzie made those mice as if she has been doing this her whole life.  They were so adorable with their very own features.  She sews and taught herself to crochet so last Christmas we all received beautiful blankets from her.  In just a few months she will have her white coat ceremony and within two years we will have the first doctor in our family.  Her ability to figure out anything she puts her mind to reminds me so much of you. One other thing...You have a great grandson graduating from the Coast Guard this Friday.  I know you will be there with a huge smile on your face. Maybe, you will be standing right next to daddy with all the pride knowing these grands are your flesh and blood and you both were the beginning of their existence. Without you all these amazing children would not be here.  Keep us all in your prayers mommy. I know you do.  We may only have memories left but they are precious.  I love and miss you every single day.  I will see you soon. 

Love you so much mommy.  xxxxxxxxxxxoxoxo

Happy Birthday Mommy, I know it was yesterday but I absolutely did not forget, had to get thru the tears first, I know you had an amazing birthday with all of your loved ones, I think you are getting more in heaven than here on earth so you song gets louder each year .
Today's just one of many days that always make me sad for I know its too late to say the things I wish I had
You see, I wish I'd told you far more often that I cared and that I was so grateful for the happy times we'd shared And time's passed since the day you left but still I'm asking why you couldn't have stayed for longer and we had to say goodbye
And now your birthday's here all there is left to do is hope that heaven lets you know how much I'm missing you.

Happy Birthday Mommy,
You would have been 90 years old today. In my heart and mind, you are the young beautiful person you were at 44 years old.  There hasn't been a day that goes by that we don't think of you. I can barely write this without shedding tears as I think of you. We missed so much not having you here. I still quote your sayings every time I find a pin lol..."Find a pin and pick it up and all day long you have good luck."  Your robe was covered in safety pins. That's just one of the sayings you taught us. I could go on and on but I will save them for another day. I lost my Feather last month, she would have been 15years old today.  She was born on your birthday.  I miss her but then sitting on my lap is " Mo" Our Siamese mix who showed up on your birthday four years ago.  Isn't it odd that she just crawled on my lap as I am writing to you? She is busy trying to kiss me and watching steadily as I type.  You are constantly giving us signs you are here with us. I love you mommy.  I will see you before you know it.  xoxoxoxoxox

Mommy, it’s been 45 years ago today, God took you home, miss you everyday, I love you mommy
My Mother, My Angel

By Kathy J. Parenteau © Kathy J. Parenteau


Published: September 2012

Once upon a time an angel held my hand.
She wiped away my tears and helped me understand
Our time on Earth is brief; there are lessons to be learned.
Each precious day God gives us, another page is turned.
Every chapter full of memories, times of joy and tears,
Triumphs and defeats, through every passing year.
She loved us unconditionally, always by our side.
When no one else would listen, in her we could confide.
With gentle words of wisdom, she led us on our way,
Down the paths of righteousness if ever we did stray.
She saw the light in everyone and gave with no regrets,
Always from her heart, let's not forget.
Angels come in many forms; for me it was my mother.
With love I cannot say in words there'll never be another.
Every day I turn the page, in my heart will ever remain
Everything she taught me as I stroll down memory lane.
Thank you, God, for giving me the most priceless of all treasures.
Help my, Lord, to keep alive her memory here forever.
I pray that I can someday be everything she hoped I would,
That she's smiling down from heaven knowing she did good.
As we gather here today, there's no ending to her story.
Another chapter has begun, full of grace and glory.
God's called her to his heavenly home, part of his great plan.
Although it may be hard, we all must understand.
Faith is what is hoped for, things we cannot see.
Heaven is promised to all of us if only we believe.

Happy Birthday Mommy. This year we are celebrating Riece and McKenzie graduating college. Our Riece will be a teacher in SC and our Kenz is going on to be an audiologist and accepted at the ECU school of medicine. I know you would be so proud of them. Both little Gloria and Joseph have done a beautiful job at raising their children and even though you are not physically here to witness this they know who you are. Eli still Carries around the blanket you were never able to finish and swears you made it for him.  Jeannies children and grands are also our pride and joy. We know you have been watching over all of us and them. Mommy, your little Walt has been having so much pain lately.  Please pray that they find a medicine that will help him. He suffers daily yet doesn't want any of us to know. Give our Maurie Ann our love and Daddy too. We miss you all soooo much. Happy Birthday. I love you,  Gloria

Mommy, I can't believe it's been 44 years since our Good Lord took you home.  This is a different kind of year since we lost Daddy too.  I am hoping you are proud of Jeannie and myself for taking care of him even though at times it was so trying.  We never thought he would have been with us so long considering his medical issues.  What I want to say to you today is thank you.  Thank you for choosing him as our dad.  I know it wasn't always easy for you especially since you followed him so far from your own family but I am grateful for your sacrifice.  I try to imagine what your meeting was like once he arrived at Heavens Gate and I am sure he was so happy to see you.  It's hard knowing we have lost both of you but somehow you always find a way to let us know you are ok.  I was at my Bible study group yesterday and I looked up and noticed this beautiful piece of silver on the hosts shelf and I asked her if that was a lighter.  She stated it was a gift someone found at an antique store that a family member sent to her yet she had no idea why. She said they had no idea what it even was and asked me how I knew.  I told her my mother treasured one exactly like that and I haven't seen one like it since she passed away.  You always find a way either on or around the date of your passing to give us a sign.  This was truly that sign.  I love you so much and there isn't single day that I don't miss you.  xoxoxoxoxox

Dearest Mommy, Another year has gone by and for some reason I feel you closer than ever. Maybe it's because Jeannie and I are caring for dad and we know you are watching over him.  Your beautiful picture of when you two first met sits on his bedside table. It is bringing so many memories up and all good ones. He told me how you cared for him as you crossed the Atlantic and he was so sick on the journey home.  He can remember that time so well. He said you were beautiful.  It does my heart good to hear that. 
We miss you so much and that hasn't changed one bit from the first day you left us. Please pray for dad mommy and pray for me and Jeannie. It's not always easy.  I love you and just know you are watching over us.
Xoxoxo

How did another year go by so quickly.  I think about you every single day. I wonder what you must be thinking about dad and his daily life with Jeannie.  I know without a doubt you are trying your best to help her.  It's not at all what we expected.  For so many years while we were children you protected dad saying he had back problems, or he had heart problems or he needed his sleep.  I wonder if he will ever understand the goodness and treasure he had with you as his wife.  I always admired the fact that you kept the best meals for him or the peanut butter cups you warned us never to touch because you bought them for him. How I don't remember ever having a steak but at night I could smell it's goodness as he came home from a night shift and you had a full course meal waiting for him.  I remember thinking when I am married I am going to do the same things for my husband.  Little did any of us know you would go long before him yet your protective nature is still a reminder to me how much you loved him.  I can see now some of what you must have endured and why there were times you wanted to cry or just leave.  I am watching Jeannie go through some of your similar emotions.  Our Aunt Glor says there are some things we don't know ....  I wish we did as it would help us understand so much.  I will have dad with me soon mommy and I will also need your strength and understanding.  Now on a better note... I have planted trees and flowers for you every place I have lived.  They have always flourished so there is a part of your goodness in so many states and even England.  But I waited yesterday on your birthday to do something I have wanted to do for years but I was unsure if I was really capable of keeping it going. I planted a Rose Garden on your birthday just for you.  My memories of the way you loved your Peace Rose and Blaze Rose is the reason I love my gardens today.  Like Jeannie we know your Lily of the Valley is your favorite but the memories of you caring for those two climbing Roses and the smell on the porch is such a beautiful one.  I can remember you cutting the roses and wrapping the bottoms up in tin foil so I could take them to my teachers.  You know I don't have a single memory of the teachers faces when I gave them the roses but I remember every minute of you doing this in such a loving manner.  So I am wishing you a Happy Birthday and even though you died so young it feels like you grew older with me.  Thank you for giving me what I needed in this life to make it the best life possible.
Oh and one more thing.... What would be the odds that at two very emotional times in my life you brought me comfort.  Once when I was leaving PA to move back to NC alone I received a call stating the dog I had signed up for was born on your birthday...our Feather and Two years ago when we lost our Maurie you knew my heart was not healing ....yet just three months later on your birthday .. a very emaciated Siamese showed up on our patio which changed everything.  There could be no other reason but it was you letting me know you are there for us.   I love and miss you so much and I pray I can be good enough to Meet you in Heaven one day. 
I love you Mommy. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Happy Birthday my dear friend and sister-in-law. 
I know that you already know how much I miss you every day of my life.
You are always with me , and I can always hear you answer me when I talk to you.
You would be so proud of your kids. But, I know you are. They have made you so proud. They are great parents and follow you in so many ways. They have many of your gifted talents. Your grandchildren sure are missing out on one great lady. Stay with them always and protect them. 
They are taking real good care of Walt. Boy , that isn't always easy as you know. 
All I can say , is that I sure do miss you and love you forever.

Happy Birthday mommy, I know you are having a beautiful day with all the Angels, your Lilly of the Valley Flowers from Dock Street are blooming all over my yard . Can you believe I dug them up 43 years ago and they fill my yard reminding me that it’s your birthday , they were replanted in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and North Carolina and still Bloome today, and grow more beautiful every year. I miss you with all my heart, it makes me so sad that you never got to meet some of your grand children and none of your great grandchildren but I know as a fact you have been there every time one was born. Miss you so much. Today’s your birthday so I will just wish you happy birthday, but I will be back soon to “vent “ everything that has happened in the last year, Love you with all my heart please give Maurie Ann a HUGH hug and kiss for me.

Another year without you.  Just writing those four words choke me up and fill my eyes with tears.
This has been such a tough year mommy.  I am so sorry it has taken me 64 years of my life to realize that the day I called you in 1974 and asked if I could come home and you said, " No"  even though your love for Gloria Renee was so great and I know how much you were missing her....your sacrifice was only to make me stronger.  For years I thought you were just being mean but you made me understand how careful I needed to be about ALL my life changing decisions and like Jeannie wrote, you taught me to sacrifice for my children for the greater good.  How Blessed I am with them but unlike you I thought always rescuing was the right thing for everyone in my family . How wise you were at such a young age.  So although I never said I was upset with you I was and now more than ever I understand you made me into the woman I am today.  I have missed you every single day but I know as I get older I will see you soon. I want to thank you for knowing what was best for me and influencing my life in such a positive way even though you haven't been here.  You send me signs every time I need them to let me know you are close by.  You have watched over all of us.  We have felt it.  I miss you mommy

42 years ago today our father called you home. It is not a choice we get to make, none the less it does not make it easier. I am so glad he has given me more time with my children and family and I now know he took you so young because he had a plan for you, I believe that plan was for you to watch over all of us. You now have your baby girl with you and I know someday soon I will be with you but I cherish each moment the lord gives me with my family When you were alive your presence taught me to live life in the moment without waiting for tomorrow. But after your death, your absence has taught me to live life like there is no tomorrow. I miss you, Mommy

I thought that I would miss you so, and never find my way.
And then I heard the angel say "She's with you every day."
"The sun, the moon, the wind, the stars, will forever be around,
reminding you of the love you shared, and the peace she's finally found."

Losing a mother is a pain that cannot be described in words, especially when you see the pain everyday that she was in and there was nothing you could do about it, I always wonder why she had to suffer so much , but then, we have had to suffer everyday without her. It is virtually impossible to move on from the memory of losing the woman who sacrificed happiness in her own life so that we could have a better one. A mother's love is truly irreplaceable.
Maybe it is too late, but I know you are listening from the heavens above. Mommy I love you and I understand all the sacrifices you made in your life to give me a better one. even though that time was shortNo matter where I am or what I am doing, you will always be the shining star which gives me the strength to move on. I miss you.

Heaven needed an angel and god sent for you, You are gone from me forever, Now what am I to do, I miss you now like never before, But I have to let you go, I will never forget you and this I need you to know, My heart breaks of sadness.
With all my Love Jeannie

Happy Birthday Mommy,
So much has happened in over a year. I know you are so happy with your Maurie Ann with you but we are so sad without her.  We know you continue to watch over all of us and you give us signs every time we turn around. We know you have not been with us physically in over 40 years but you are with us every day.  Even when you sent our crazy siamese cat to us on your birthday last year. You just knew how my heart was aching for the loss of our Maurie and it filled my heart with joy as I wondered what the odds would be of all the cats in the world it would be your beloved favorites "Siamese" to show up on this day last year.  
Our signs of your love surrounds us and I know you will be with us as Jeannie and I take care of the man you chose to be be our dad.  We know you love him and will help as you wait one day on his arrival.  We miss you so much. Our Lord surrounds you with the greatest love you could ever feel.  I love and miss you so much.

Happy Mothers day Mommy.

Today is Mothers Day and you know I have such a hard time with this day. You would think after 41 years it would get easier but it just NEVER gets easier. But this year is different. You have your baby girl with you and my beloved sister.  I am sure she has been telling on me about how hard I was on her and how I put so much pressure on her to get her own place.  You see mommy, once you died I felt so responsible for her.  I wanted to make you proud that I would try my best to take care of her. But in trying to make you proud I found a pure love for her that took the place of that.  I was always scared to lose her and yet no matter how hard I tried to protect her I still lost her.  I'm so sorry mommy. I just couldn't save her. She really suffered. I feel so sad that after all these years of trying to be there for her, on her last days I wasn't. What a disappointment that must be to you and even more so to me. I am only thankful Jeannie was there as she took her last breath. I know she is better off with you but I want her back. She finally had her very own place and then she became so sick she couldn't really enjoy it.  She loved us all so much and she missed you every day of her life.  Now I will miss her and you every day of my life but I know we will be together again one day. I'm so sorry mommy for not being there with her. But I know you were. She told me and Jeannie you were there which gives us so much comfort.  I love you so much and there is never a day that goes by that you are not in my heart.
Happy Mothers Day xoxoxoxoxoxooxoxoxoxoxoxoxxo

Happy 85th Birthday Mommy, I can see the biggest smile on your face today, knowing your baby girl is with you today and always. I was reading her last message to you, Maurie was saying she wished she could talk to you, I am sure she has been talking your ears off. I know you have the best gift of all from her, and that is giving us back our little brother, that we owe to Maurie. We all send you lots of birthday wishes and kisses and hugs we will all be with you someday. Right now we have to take care of our families, and Maurie needed you more !!
I Love you mommy, Happy Birthday !

Sweet smile on your face as you sleep the pain away
Resting in God's arms now, although in the ground your body lay
He needed another Angel in the Heavenly choir and that's why you had to go, As you promised you are still with us, watching your children here below. I know you are listening from the heavens above. There’s nothing that I value more, than your love. No matter where I am or what I am doing, your memories will always keep me smiling.
I miss you more than these words could ever say
The pain in my heart is from one unimaginable day
I miss you with all of my heart, Mommy, Love Jeannie

Happy Mothers Day, Mommy!
I sit here and ponder how very much I'd like to talk with you today,
There are so many things that we didn't get to say.
I know how much you care for me and how much I care for you
And each time that I think of you I know you'll miss me too
An Angel came and took you by the hand and said, Your place was ready in Heaven, far above....
And you had to leave behind all those you dearly loved
You had so much to live for, you had so much to do
It still seems impossible that God was taking you
And although your life on earth is past, in Heaven it starts anew
You'll live for all eternity just as God promised you
And although you've walked through Heaven's gate
We are never far apart
For every time I think of you, your right here, deep within my heart.

Have a wonderful day, I will be thinking of you as always!
Love Jeannie

I wish we could have you here to celebrate your birthday, but God had other plans. 
Watch over all your children Maur. keep a close eye on them and help them to stay strong and loving.

I miss you so much. I see and feel you in everything I do.  Tonight as I added pictures of you, I was busy baking away for Sarah, Just one of your grandchildren that you would have adored, home from college this weekend.  I still remember you going out of your way to make sure you had plenty of your beautiful pies, tons to eat in the fridge and the house just sparkling when you knew I was coming home. Because of you mommy I have passed this on to my own children. I see Jeannie doing the same thing. In the way we decorate our homes, from sewing , to baking and cooking...it's all from you.  Even the way we treat our husbands. It may seem old fashion to some but you showed us how to do the extra things just for them.  I remember you hiding the Reece's for our dad or making him the Steak when we were not around. I used to think that was so special and how I was going to do the same thing for my husband one day. You are still with us in spirit and I love and miss you every single day.  I am so glad you were so close to Aunt Glor because if it were not for her we would not have the pictures I just posted.  We have been Blessed in so many ways because of you. Your Gloria

I know you were waiting with open arms and a heart filled with Love,

A garden of the heart;
She planted all the good things,
That gave my life it's start.

She turned me to the sunshine,
And encouraged me to dream:
Fostering and nurturing
The seeds of self-esteem.

And when the winds and rains came,
She protected me enough;
But not too much, she knew I'd need
To stand up strong and tough.

Her constant good example,
Always taught me right from wrong;
Markers for my pathway
To last my whole life long.

I am my Mother's garden,
I am her legacy.
And I hope today she feels the love,
Reflected back from me.

The loveliest materpiece of the heart of God is the love of a Mother.

I love and miss you everyday

Aunt Maureen you were always one of my favorite people! I always remember how much fun we would have when you would visit or we would visit. My mom & you had so much fun together! Hope that is still continuing. Thanks for beautiful gifts, my cousins.

Lord, are there roses in your garden
On the shores of jubilee
Would you pick a dozen of your best
And deliver them for me?
For you see, today is mothers' day
And I can't visit my mom
For it wasn't very long ago
The angels came and took her home.
So if there are roses in your garden
On the shores of Jubilee
Would you pick a dozen of your best
And deliver them for me?
Would you take them to my mother
And tell her that I love her.
Tell her that I miss her
In oh! So many ways
But I have joy in knowing
We'll meet again someday
And we'll pick roses together
On the shores of Jubilee.

Happy Mothers day Mommy, I Love and miss you
Love Jeannie

Dear Maureen,
There are not enough words to say how much I love and loved you.'
Nothing has changed. The love lives on.
We were so close and I miss you so much always.
I'm so lucky, you have four great children. With them here, I feel you are still so very close.
I'm grateful to you for so many things. 
Everyone wants to know how the kennel got it name. I always tell them it was for you. They love to hear the story of Walt meeting you and getting married in England.
Katy and I miss you and love you always.

Hey Mommy,

It's 46 years you have been gone but why does it still feel like yesterday that you left us? I think that's a good thing because you are as fresh in my mind as if you just left us yesterday.  Guess what I did today that without a doubt you were right next to me. I was watching a YouTube video on how to replace the drainpipe under the kitchen sink.  Once it was done and working great, I stood up and thought, If it wasn't for my mother being able to fix anything I might never try things that seem hard.  You are my inspiration when it comes to anything I find myself doing. I remember one day I walked down into the basement on Cooper Street and found you using cement and making a grotto for the statue of the Virgin Mary.  I remember standing there watching and wondering how you even knew how to do this. You have clearly imprinted on your children in just the few years you were here.  Jeannie is so much like you and clearly the seamstress in the family and Walt the builder and fixer of anything. Yesterday I gave McKenzie a task of making tiny mice for a Diorama I'm helping little Gloria make for school.  McKenzie made those mice as if she has been doing this her whole life.  They were so adorable with their very own features.  She sews and taught herself to crochet so last Christmas we all received beautiful blankets from her.  In just a few months she will have her white coat ceremony and within two years we will have the first doctor in our family.  Her ability to figure out anything she puts her mind to reminds me so much of you. One other thing...You have a great grandson graduating from the Coast Guard this Friday.  I know you will be there with a huge smile on your face. Maybe, you will be standing right next to daddy with all the pride knowing these grands are your flesh and blood and you both were the beginning of their existence. Without you all these amazing children would not be here.  Keep us all in your prayers mommy. I know you do.  We may only have memories left but they are precious.  I love and miss you every single day.  I will see you soon. 

Love you so much mommy.  xxxxxxxxxxxoxoxo

So I was reading thru all the stories I have written for you and I realized part of my crazy year included something wonderful, you have a New Great Granddaughter , Parker has a new little sister, Sophia Maureen, she is 10 months old now and is a true gift from God but I know you already know that. 
Sophia Maureen is our beautiful little rainbow baby, she came out letting the world know that she had arrived, we called her a little banshie,  and today at 10 months she has a mind of her own, she absorbs every word just waiting to blossom. This little girl is so in love with her brother Parker and has the biggest, brightest blue eyes ever!
Ten tiny fingers Ten tiny toes, Two big blue eyes and one tiny nose. A beautiful smile, Straight blond hair . A perfect little Angel just standing there, A blank slate for mommy to mold. A little girl for Granny to hold.  She watches Parkers every move, sure not to miss a beat.  I can’t believe Amandas a mom again, it’s different , but neat.  Her hero, her savior, her own little me, the love of her life, it’s hard to believe and unbreakable bond between her and I, No limit to love when it reaches the sky.
Sophia is truly a gift- a blessing from God. A miracle that brings happiness into our lives.
Life is fleeting, years rush past . . .
and little girls grow up so fast!
Let me take time out to be
glad that mine's still here with me.
And though I'm busy through the day,
let me take time out to play . . .
Let me take time out to smile,
to linger with her for a while . . .
To invite her under the table for tea
and dress up silly as can be.
Let me take time out to sing
and dance and skip
and twirl and swing . . .
To splash in puddles when it rains
and make her fancy daisy chains.
Let me take time out to hear
about the things that she holds dear.
Let me tuck her in at night,
hear her prayers, turn off the light.
And for one more moment let me pray
and thank God that we shared this day!

God bless you baby Sophia, you may not know me but Mommom loves you! I will be your guardian Angel!

The Designing Factor!

October 11, 2015

My Mother loved to recover our furniture and she would even sew the curtains and anything else she could to match.   I always felt so lucky to think we had new furniture all the time.  She was always so proud of what she had and wanted everything to look nice for us.   There were times when things were tough for them but she made sure our house was clean...lol Imaculate is a better word..but it was always so nice to come home.  My sisters and myself and now our own children have taken on that same trait.
