"If Roses Grow in Heaven"

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 do it everyday,
But there is an ache within my heart
That will never go away.

My mom, Sandy, as her friends and family called her, passed away
from Cancer on February 4, 1998. 
She fought a long hard battle starting when I was about 8 years old.
She pulled through it so many times.  Her strength was remarkable to me.
She would get Cancer, have treatments and then it would be gone.
A few years later it would start all over again in a new spot...but she was
always able to overcome it.  I think I really believed that it would never
beat her, she would always win.
Over the years she had Cancer in her breast, a number of different spots in her spine, and then it finally moved into her lungs.  The last episode was just too much for her and she was in a great deal of pain.  She tried so hard not to let me know just how bad it was that time.  I love and miss her so much but I know that she is in peace now and is no longer suffering.
