HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM .......By Your Baby Girl on 10/19/13 Ten years ago we celebrated your last birthday You were so weak but determined to push through. The cancer was destroying your body But nothing could destroy the determination and beauty in you. I had so many plans for you and me But my world was forever changed that day. Pancreatic cancer and a short time to live Was not what I expected to hear the surgeon say. But oh, what a woman of great faith You made it clear to doctors and everyone No talk of the negatives, prognosis and time to me You said that was up to the Great Physician, The Holy One. I had never seen my Momma so sickly It was always you who were lending the hand So I had to explain to my children I must now do for Mimi everything I can. It was you, Sweet Mimi, whom I called upon Day or night, many many times With my debilitating migraines Or kids sicknesses of all kinds. Many times you took me to the hospital When my headache pain I could no longer stand. You sat by my bed washing my face Never letting go of my hand. Once after weeks of a migraine I asked, Mom, how could I ever repay you for all youve done? I will never forget the tenderness in your reply, You cant. You seek others in need, and continue doing good for someone. So many lessons you taught me about giving Dont toot your own horn or pat yourself on the back. Never let the left hand know what the right hand is doing. ----Or Gods Blessing You Will Always Lack! You were such a rock for all of your children As you taught us about Jesus, morals, respect and love for others You continually prayed with and for us And taught us to be good fathers and mothers. Thank you for teaching me to love Christ and believe on Him For showing me that bitterness has no place in the heart For teaching me that CHRIST will help me to forgive others Oh, how little I knew Id soon need this just to know where to start!! What a wonderful Mimi you were The mold was surely broken with you. Many times I ponder on the things that you did And wish I could do them too. You rode my kids on your back You all went swinging on grapevines You went on long hikes and to water falls With their Mimi, they remember the best of times. I wish you hadnt had to go so soon And your great grandson had met you And felt the love you had As you looked in his precious little eyes so blue. Momma, Im glad you cant see the tears I cry Or the pain in my heart or in my eyes For you told me not to be sad That youd always be with me because love never dies I see your reflection in my very own eyes I hear your voice in the wind chimes I feel your love when I hug my grandson I know youre with me and in my heart at all times. Daisies in the summer sun Let me know that youre there And best of all are the hummingbirds That let me know that you care. Momma, its so hard to never feel your hugs around me Or feel your sweet cheek to cheek kiss. I so miss the sound of your voice and touch of your hand And that sweet sweet smile is a treasure I miss. So many times lifes storms overwhelmed me And God gave you just the right words to keep me strong. I know if you could speak to me now Youd tell me to pray for Gods will and Ill never go wrong. Those two years were difficult for all of us As we watched you suffer and held back our tears. Oh how very strong you were Never speaking of or sharing your fears. Today, October 19, 2013 would have been your 71st birthday Theres thoughts of sadness but great memories and much love. Around me I see you in the Autumn beauty and realize I shouldnt be sad as youre celebrating with your Creator above. Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like Eagles, They Shall run and not be weary. They Shall walk and not faint.
