‘I will not further burden myself by trying to fit some image of a “model griever”. The strength I have is the strength to be myself.’

Falling Without Notice

Author: Blaine Anthony Anderson

Sorry I had to leave you without notice,
My wings were ready before I had a chance to say goodbye.

My time on Earth was relieved by God,
My Guardian Angel duty in Heaven has started.

Sorry I had to leave you without notice,
My wings were ready before I had a chance to say goodbye.

God sent me an Angel to take me by the hand to
Begin the journey into the unknown.

Sorry I had to leave you without notice,
My wings were ready before I had a chance to say goodbye.

Don’t think of me being gone or far away,
I’m only a prayer or thought away.

Sorry I had to leave you without notice,
My wings were ready before I had a chance to say goodbye.

You will hear me whisper joy through the
Tranquility of the winds and see me smile through the brightness.

Sorry I had to leave you without notice,
My wings were ready before I had a chance to say goodbye.

Don’t be disappointed by my goodbye; a farewell is necessary
Before we can meet again.

Sorry I had to leave you without notice,
My wings were ready before I had a chance to say goodbye.

Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.’ – Matthew 5:4

‘In this darkness I will reach out my hand, trusting that life reaches toward me, bringing me comfort and strength to prevail.’

‘I would say to my friends – When I cannot come out from my house of grief, put your hand in the open window and I will hold on for dear life.’

‘I will be on the lookout today for ways to use the unique gifts God has given me.’

∞A Mother’s Love∞

There is no love like that of a daughter or son,

As long as you show them, you’ll be their number one.

They bring me joy, they bring me pain,

and enjoy playing in the rain…

They make me mad, they make me proud

one moment speak softly, the next so loud…

They try my nerves, they show me love

They’re my little gifts from above…

They make me shine, they make me cry

and sometimes make me ask God , “Why?”…

They’re loved so much, yet drive me crazy

so energetic, but yet so lazy…

They ride my patience, they kiss me good night

and make my heart gleam with a love so bright…

I know that they love me and I love them, too

and could never not love them, no matter what they do…

I look at some mothers, and don’t understand

what more than love could their children demand?

And yet they neglect them as they are not even there they don’t love them or praise them,

they don’t even care…

 As if they are items to be pushed to the side

How could you bear them and not feel pride?

They are part of your being. How can you not see?

What they are taught is what they will be…

 They need you to love them and show them the way,

Do it! Tomorrow is not promised today…

 No one expects you to be the parent of the year,

but the love they return is so precious and dear…

‘I have entered a new country. I will be patient with myself. I will look for companions of the way.’
