My mum

We lost my mum today at 3.10pm. 5 years of battle against cancer finally got to her. One of the last words she spoke was my name. She who suffered but held on till I flew the thousands of miles back to her. I am glad I got to say goodbye. I am glad I got to tell her that I love her. I am forever glad that I was there when she grew her wings and flew away.

If roses grow in Heaven,
Lord please pick a bunch for me,
Place them in my Mother’s arms
and tell her they’re from me.
Tell her I love her and miss her,
and when she turns to smile,
place a kiss upon her cheek
and hold her for awhile.
Because remembering her is easy,
I will do it every day,
but there’s an ache within my heart
that will never go away.
