A kindred spirit
Mesmerized by your strength
touched by your kindness
You've given us all courage
Never concerned about your own comfort
Always comforting other you gave
Your heart and soul
Always
Taught us a lesson with our inner child
Keep it Simple
A teacher
A mother
A sister
A wife
"Day at a time"
Just when we think we'll never know happiness again

i wrote that for my mom nine years ago...
I was 24 when my mother lost her battle with cancer on 9.8.99
She learned in 1978 that she had malanoma.
For 21 years I had a mother who was a walking miracle
I took that for granted
it's what you do when you are young you disagree
you tell them how wrong they are and how they don't understand you
then one day...
you wake up and you hear words leave your mouth that are almost a direct quote of that person you swore didn't understand you....
turns out...
they really did know.
My Mother's name was Mae.

Angela,

I found the post "My Middle Name is Mae" very touching.
You should know that I will never forget your mom. She was a great woman who always made all me feel welcome and appreciated in her home, and I loved that she took a genuine interest in me and your other friends.
You are like her in this. You've got a gift for caring for people.
I only wish I was able to see you more.
AOT,
diana
Beautiful Ang! This brought tears to my eyes. I didn't know your mom, but she raised a wonderful, caring, sweet and inspiring daughter. I know she had to have some of those qualities too.
