Untold story, untold pain
As I sit here looking at your remains.
It was the 26th August 2010
The day god took you for a hand to lend, 
We lost our mother, a wife and a friend.
I put on a smile, just to pretend.
But what lies under the smile is a mystery,
I'm just glad your out of your misery. 
I hope one day I wake up,this was all a dream
because this feeling is getting way beyond extreme
in the letter you wrote me you said not to grieve
but I swear that word is just make believe
 How dare you leave my side
just as I was on a bumpy ride
when I needed you most you turned into a ghost,
now i'm waving goodbye.
 tear drops stroll down my cheek
people begin to think i'm a freak
 but they don't know why i'm hurting this way
and memories are starting to rot like decay
Because when I needed you most you turned into a ghost,
now i'm waving goodbye.

I lost my Mum yesterday. Today I looked in the churchyard  to find the special words people put on headstones which give something more than name and age. The best one I found said something like " her laughing spirit lives on in those who knew her".

Hello Camilla,

I'm sorry for your loss, thoughts are with you. I know how hard it is losing someone you've looked up to all your life. I really appreciate your comment at such difficult time and that grave stone has a beautiful but true saying, we continue everyday to live for those who once was here living.

 

hope everything is okay and thanks everyone above.

Hello Kate,

This is a lovely expression of your sad loss.  To lose your mother when you are still so young must be very hard but I feel sure she's looking down and saying, 'Yes, that's my Kate down there.  I always knew she would make me proud.'
