![]() Me & Mom, 1995/96 I had another post in mind for today but I feel called to put this out into the universe now And I want to give myself plenty of space to feel everything and relax into the process. You see, my mom made her journey to across the rainbow bridge on August 17, 2009. She joined my dad who made his journey 7 years before. ![]() My mom and my sister a few days before her passing Her passing was a huge blow for me. And though friends were telling me "Love never dies", I wasn't ready for to hear that then. But now, two years later I know it to be true. So in that spirit, I offer this poem I found today. Queen Elizabeth used it at her mother's funeral. I use it to honor of my continuing connection to my mom ![]() Mom deep in conversation, Ordination party 2009 You can shed tears that she is gone, or you can smile because she has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back, or you can open your eyes and see all she's left. ![]() Mom with a fellow teacher and friend Your heart can be empty because you can't see her, or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. ![]() Mom holding my doggie You can remember her only that she is gone, or you can cherish her memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back. Or you can do what she'd want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.”

Oh yes, love and go on. You are beautiful. Oh Dionne! What a lovely commemoration of your mother. I'm sure she's smiling at it. I hope she is sitting with my mum just having a great chinwag! Thanks for sharing this ... it's a great wishcast even if it's not rooted in the prompt, but hey, it is ... i wish to choose...I wish to choose to remember my mother's life and not mourn what isn't here now.
