Mom,
It is me. I wish you were here to talk to today. So much is going on that I want to talk to you about. Rose had a stroke and she is missing you so much. It is hard to visit her, parking in the same place, walking the same halls, and not knowing what to say or what is going to happen next.
I always grieve the most this time of year. I look at the calendar every day and wait for the 24th to come. This year is the 5th anniversary. It doesn't get easier.
This year, Rose has been sick and in the hospital or nursing home almost the same time that you were. She has missed the spring flowers blooming and the green leaves coming on the trees. She missed the redbuds and dogwoods, and now she is not seeing and smelling your favorite lilacs bloom.
Doris has had such a rough year. Every day is such a struggle for her. It breaks my heart. We take things like breathing freely for granted. David takes care of her the best he can.
Mamaw is still hanging in there, but she is also disappearing. I don't know what is in her mind, but I know she sees a world of strangers.
Don has better days than others. He has worked on getting all those aches and pains taken care of...things you tried your best to get him to do. He still talks to you. He keeps your car running and clean. He misses you.
Every year that I can, when my lilac blooms, I pick you a little bunch and take them to the cemetery. I know that your spirit and laughter are not there, but I take them anyway. You are due a bouquet any day now. When I start smelling their sweetness filling the air, I miss you so much.
I love you. I wish I could talk to you and tell you I love you again. I miss your laugh so much. You will never die in my heart.
GOD SAW YOU GETTING TIRED
AND A CURE WAS NOT TO BE
SO HE PUT HIS ARMS AROUND YOU
AND WHISPERED COME WITH ME
WITH TEARFUL EYES WE WATCHED YOU SUFFER
AND SAW YOU FADE AWAY
ALTHOUGH WE LOVED YOU DEARLY
WE COULD NOT MAKE YOU STAY
A GOLDEN HEART STOPPED BEATING
HARD WORKING HANDS AT REST
GOD BROKE OUR HEARTS TO PROVE
THAT HE ONLY TAKES THE BEST
iT'S LONESOME HERE WITHOUT YOU
WE MISS YOU MORE EACH DAY
LIFE JUST ISN'T THE SAME
SINCE YOU'VE GONE AWAY
WHEN DAYS ARE SAD AND LONELY
AND EVERYTHING GOES WRONG
WE SEEM TO HEAR YOU WHISPER
CHEER UP AND CARRY ON
EACH TIME WE SEE YOUR PICTURE
YOU SEEM TO SMILE AND SAY
DON'T CRY I'M IN GOD'S KEEPING
WE'LL MEET AGAIN SOMEDAY.

Louise, what do you say to your best friend when she isn't there to answer? Everyday I think of something I would like to share with you. Special memories of you will always be with me.
