Hi MOM! I can't believe you've been gone twelve years, today. And I'm starting to forget things, I used to take for granted. Like the way you smelled. Or the way you sounded when you laughed. I'm not a spring chicken, but I ain't ready for the rockin' chair. Why am I losing such precious memories? I'm having a hard time lately, and I sooooo miss the way you had of always seeing the sunny side, and talking me through things. "This too shall pass", was always what you told me. People always say they will never forget. And in my case, I really try to remember. I look at photographs, but sometimes, they just make me cry. I don't want to remember, and be sad. I wrote that poem that got published, just for that reason.
In Memory of Me
Remember the times we had, and all the things we shared. Remember the things I gave you, to show how much I cared.
Remember how much I love you, remember and be glad. Because I never want you to.....remember and be sad.
RIP Dorothy Mae Farrell Schoenhofer -- June 3, 1930--June 25, 1999
Love you.
