Time To Say Goodbye

You know this day will come, but you don't want to think about it. When you find you have to plan for it, your mind takes time out to cope with it. You ask yourself time and time again, Is this how she'd have liked it??? Once planned you dread it.

When it finally arrived, it was gloriously sunny, Mum would have loved it, not a cloud in the sky. A warm sensation filled my heart as we arrived to see all those who shared in cherishing her. Mum was a fun loving lady, I'm sure she was dabbling that day, breaking the somber mood on arrival in that shiny black car by locking us in it! She'd even jinxed the thick blue curtain, just allowing the voile to set her in a heavenly light.

You put a brave smile on, but inside your empty and numb. Afterwards in the cold sun we're warmed by the faces of many years past, it's time to celebrate her life and the joy she brought us.

To Mum, I love you and will miss you. x
