Four months since I lost my mother
8 months ago
General
Four months have passed since my dear mother died.
Today, while cleaning the house, I went through a few of her things -- and found a poem she herself had written decades ago, after the death of her adoptive father.
Reading it, I very nearly burst into tears. I try to be strong, I try to keep myself together, but it's harder than anything I've ever been through before.
"Hello again, I can't let you go
Who'd have guessed I'd miss you so
So many memories often thought
Even though they leave me wrought
Goodbye old friend, one day we'll reunite
On that long voyage into the other night."

My mother had some talent for creative writing and I wish she’d done more of it.
