I heard Mom say she loved us

Thirteen years ago...

I sat quietly beside you on the bed as you spoke to me.
I listened to your wishes and requests. I heard you say you loved us.
I stood beside your bed ,weeping, as
I shared the leaving of your soul with my sister.
I sat quietly beside you in a room filled with people,where you look to be sleeping so peacefully.
I stood weeping as I stood at your grave today. I heard you say you loved us...

God sat quietly beside you on the bed as you spoke to him.
God stood beside your bed as he held your hand.
God sat quietly beside you in a room filled with your loved ones as they said goodbye.
God stood with me at your grave today. I heard him say he loves you...

  2. You are so lucky to of been with your Mom no matter how hard it was, you got to be with her in her last min. I wished Roy would of been with her. That is Beautiful what you wrote!!We all loved her very much. And it hurts so bad when we think of her and can't help but to cry. The crying is because we miss her, but we all know she is in a better place.Thank You for what you do to keep her memory alive!!!Love Renea and Roy
