Your mother is always with you...
She's the whisper of the leaves
as you walk down the street.
She's the smell of bleach in
your freshly laundered socks.
She's the cool hand on your
brow when you're not well.
Your mother lives inside
your laughter. She's crystallized
in every tear drop...
She's the place you came from,
your first home.. She's the map you
follow with every step that you take.
She's your first love and your first heart
break....and nothing on earth can separate you.
Not time, Not space...
Not even death....
will ever separate you
from your mother....
You carry her inside of you....

Those are beautiful words Blue Moon .

My Mum who I lost in 2006 was a great lover of nature . She opened my eyes at a young age to th beauty of the world , so I do indeed believe she is now the whisper of the leaves .
I got on my knees in the front garden this morning and buried my face into a clump of primroses , with eyes tightly closed I drew in a big nose full of their delicate scent...........and smiled to myself , as I knew it was just what she would have done..........lol
The Love Goes On : ))

We lost our Mum in 1980 5 years after she lost her soul mate our Dad in 1975. She really was lost without him but soldiered on because of her children and her grandchildren. Her loss though was devastating to us as like all of us we cant imagine our parents going.
My grandson .her 2nd grt grandchild had just been born in Wiltshire, she lived in SE London but she did know she had a grt grandson but not all the details like weight etc, She was staying with our youngest brother and his family for the Whitsun weekend when she had a sudden heart attack and died instantly.
I was in Wiltshire with my daughter and her OH as she had just come out of hospital and I was staying for a couple of weeks to help out, My brother contacted the MOD to trace me through SIL as he was Army and was called into camp to get the news that my mum had died.
The strange thing was I had an out of body experience when i was back in the family home and dad materialised !! I asked him what he wanted and he said he was looking for Mum.I said she isnt here dad as she has died ,he said in an exasperated voice "I know that! but i have been sent to find her as she hasn't arrived yet!!"
I said she isnt here dad and then came back into my body in the bedroom in Wiltshire. My youngest brother who she was staying the weekend with when she died rang me and said he was having "funny" things happening!! his two sons said they were talking to nan and she was in her usual chair she sat in at their house. He had to get a priest in to pass her over ,he was told often a sudden death leaves them earthbound cos they dont believe they have passed.
All in all it was a very sad loss to us BUT it does confirm to me that there's things we have no comprehension of.
So MY darling MUM Grace Batchelor born 14th NOV 1909- May 23rd 1980 you are still in our thoughts and we have so much love for you, You were the best Mum and you will ALWAYS be remembered
Shirley and all your chidren
