This is My MUM & me. I was a special surprise, you see, Mum had 6 boys before she had me, she was in her 44th year, surprise. Although when I was born there wasn't BC pills then, but there were means to get rid of unwelcome babies. My mother chose to give me life, I thank her. She always told me to make my choices according to what they would mean in 10 years time.....
In other words, ten years from today, will I look back at my life do it with
fondness or regrets?
Will I be proud or ashamed?
Yes, this is my Mum
A no nonsense kind o' gal, believed in right, worked hard all her life,
enjoyed what she had,
didn't hurt or step on folks crawling her way to the top,
thanked God for her blessings,
knew what was really important,
raised her babies,
and loved each one.
Mum went home Aug 15, 1992.
I lost my best friend
and I still miss her.

Her Journey's Just Begun

Don't think of her as gone away--
her journey's just begun;
Life holds so many facets--
this earth is only one.
Just think of her as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.
Think how she must be wishing
that we could know, today,
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.
And think of her as living
in the hearts of those she touched...
for nothing loved is ever lost--
and she was loved so much.

ELLEN BRENNEMAN


In the heavens above
The angels,~whispering to one another,
Can find, amid their burning terms of love,
None so devotional as that of 'mother'.
Edgar Allen Poe

By the grace of God
we will meet again.

Youth fades; love droops; the leaves of friendship fall:
A mother's secret love outlives them all.
Oliver Wendell Holmes


My mother was the making of me.
She was so true and so sure of me, I felt
that I had someone to live for ~ someone I
must not disappoint. The memory of my
mother will always be a blessing to me.
Thomas A Edison


There is only, one pretty child in the world,
and every mother has it.
Chinese Proverb


There is in all this cold and hollow world no fount of deep,
strong, deathless love, save that within a mother' heart..
Felica d Hemans
