My condolences to you, your mother, and family. This poem I just recently heard at the service for the passing of the mother of a friend.
WE REMEMBER THEM
At the rising of the sun and its going down
We remember them
At the blowing of the wind and the chill of winter
We remember them
At the opening of the buds and the rebirth of spring
We remember them
At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer
We remember them
At the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of autumn
We remember them
At the beginning of the year and when it ends
We remember them
As long as we live, they too will live; for they are now part of us,
As we remember them.
When we are weary and in need of strength, We remember them.
When we are lost and sick at heart, We remember them.
When we have joy we crave to share, We remember them.
When we have decisions that are difficult to make, We remember them.
When we have achievements that are based on theirs, We remember them.
As long as we live, they too will live; for they are now part of us,
As we remember them.
Went in for surgery for a cyst on my bladder, and they found colon cancer growing on the outside of the colon. Got to have two surgeries at the same time! Stage 3, one node involved.
