Oh, dearest Connie!
My heart was breaking for you as I read this news...
I am crying for you and how you must be feeling as I write this. This strikes a close chord with me, with my Grandmother and Mother being sick now as well...Your strength throughout all of this and your deep love and sensitivity towards your Mother throughout all of this has inspired me and uplifted me on more than one occasion.
My you be comforted by your loved ones around you and whatever comfort we might offer you here on YT.
I wish I would have been able to meet your Mother, I know she must have been an oustanding woman to have raised a daughter like yourself.
A friend of mine, Nicholas, wrote this poem about his Mother, shortly after she passed away...I thought perhaps it may bring a very small amount of comfort to you.
All my thoughts and prayers go towards you and your family!
I am so very, very sorry....if there is anything I can do, do not hesitate to let me know.

"You Live In What I Do"
You were my mother and my friend,
Which was unusual.
Somehow our characters still blend:
Your wisdom and my will.
I turned, and you were there for me;
I spoke, you understood.
I felt cared for, but also free;
You loved, and I was good.
I'm fortunate that I was born
To someone just like you;
I love you still. Though you are gone,
You live in what I do. |
