Could this time freeze for a while?
Could this time not fly away?
Mom’s trip with be over soon…
My heart grows heavier every day.
I am so scared I will lose her too
Dad is gone
Would she leave me too?
Is it the last time I see her?
Is it the last time I touch her?
I am so scared…
Where did the time go?
Shraddha
Oh
I too sometimes dread thinking of the future when my loved ones mite pass on n I feel like freezing the time!
mortality.
phew.
big stuff…
i was telling someone the other day about how when i was younger [and still, sometimes, even now] i have this illusion that goes something like ‘i better tell mom and dad how i want everything to go [like the memorial, etc] when i die’… as if they will eternally be around taking care of me.
as if they will outlive me…
It’s a scary thought but we can only pray gives our parents long lives and health. Don’t think of the negative and be strong! It’s hard being so far away from especially our Mothers. I miss mine terribly too and whenever its a day or two before she leaves I start to get weepy.Try to be strong esp since your little princesses are watching you. Big Hug!!
p.s. @ giveaways….woohoo…count me in :>
This is so sad, I can related to this. I lost my father when I was 12. I never got a chance to say good bye. Ever since I’ve made it a habit of telling ppl I love them, because you never know. And life is so short, we don’t really realize it until it’s too late. But I take solace in the fact my father lives on in me, in my heart. That is true immortality to me, to live on in the hearts of the ones we love.
geee…
Oh this is beautiful and sad, hopeful and yet reflective…a lovely complex combination of thoughts, emotions and words…
Making the most of every day is really all we can do, an activity which is especially wonderful when time is spent with those we love.
Does everyone go through this uncertainty. Nice post
I hope you will come over your past and start thinking positively in your life. Although it is not so easy under some circumstances but one should always try to be positive.
Nice Post..
Your mom is going so soon,tell her to stay for few more days.Your kids will miss her and you too.
Shraddha…She is going on 30th..just the anticipation is killing me.
oh! this must be so hard…
((hugs))
Beautifully put…..lovely poem…..awesome photos.
It all reminds me of my mom…..
My mother passed about 12 years ago…..4 years after my father died. At that time I became an orphan. :-/
I hope your day today is beautiful and the years stretch on for you and your mother.
Lovely photos… you have a talent for finding such great images. Big hugs.
Be at peace by having joy in the moment there’s time enough later for dread.
Beautiful photos and beautiful but sad words. My thoughts are with you.
Lovely words hun… x
that is so hard. I live next door to my Mom. Which has its upside and downside. But more of the upside. I am following thru google reader from the Mom Bloggers Club.
Words from your heart.. I can imagine how you feel.. I feel the same everytime I leave my parents and come back here..
What a beautiful, loving, moving post. I know exactly how you feel.
This is beautiful. Love the photos too.
I love giveaways almost as much as I love your poetry.
very powerful images…
So lovely…
This is a nice poem which speaks the almost unspeakable truth. I did lose both my parents, Mom first. It is a feeling I would not have thought existed, I still feel it sometimes even after ten years. Forever I had a Mom. Now I don’t have one. Dad’s passing was easier.
My newest granddaughter is posted on the blog above, down a post and two.

Oh yes, now I am in anticipation of losing my friend, Adi. She is twelve and is my buddy. Your poem fits her and me.

All I can say is to try and enjoy whatever time you have together. Death is an inevitable part of life, and we shouldn’t dwell on it before it happens. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I really appreciate your comments and support.
I know, its tough.

Ouch…I’m sorry you are going through this. I recently lost my grandmother to cancer, my grandfather to cancer and my great-grandmother to a broken heart.
If you need to talk, I am here.
Stay strong.
