awesome

Tim, this poem brought instant tears to my eyes. You see my husband and I are raising our two grandchildren, 3 1/2 and 10 1/2 years old. Their mother was taken from them in April, 2003 by their father. Very long, heart breaking story. My 10 year old granddaughter has had a very hard time dealing with the loss her mommy, especially around Mother's Day, and other holidays. Her little brother was only 6 months old at the time of his mommy's death, for a better choice of words, but, recently. has been asking for his "mommy". This broke my heart as, I know, he is coming to the age where he see the difference in mommy and nana (me). I try to explain to both of them that mommy now lives in Heaven, way, way up in the sky with Jesus, but watches over them everyday. I teach them that one day, our Lord will come to get us to take us to Heaven, too and we all will be together. This Mother's Day, we are going to do something special. The kids will make a Mother's Day card and I will get a big Happy Mother's Day balloon filled with helieum. We will attach the card to the balloon and while we are visiting mommy's gravesite, the children will let the balloon go up, up into the sky to mommy. These two children are my life, as well as my husbands. We don't understand "why" this had to happen, and would do anything to turn the clock back, but know that's not possible. However, my husband and I have been given a precious gift by being able to love, guide and cherish the two little people. Your poem says what my Granddaughter has said over and over, Mommy is an Angel and sometimes she can feel she is close to her. Wonderful expression of how even little people feel when they loose their mommy at such a fragile age. Thank you. I will print this out for my granddaughter as I know she will love it!

My beloved grandmother died yesterday and we are all circling around the void her passing has left. I wanted to read a poem at her funeral and finding this poem was clearly meant to be. I know she would've loved it. Thank you for writing such beautiful words. My mother will take a lot of comfort from this too.

This poem is very touching. Lost my mom to cancer in 2004.

I loved this poem and I thought it was one of the best. It really touched me and I had to imediatly print it out. I think i read it 5 times.

im 16 and i lost my mum 2 years ago to cancer. the poem reminds me of the brilliant person she was and how she would be a perfect candidate for an angel in heaven. i miss her so much but this poem provides that bit of inner peace we need to keep us going knowing she is in a better place and is no longer suffering. Thankyou, it's touched deep inside. i've actually written it down and i know i will keep it in my bag at all times. xxx

Your poem hits heart. I lost my mother Dec. 12th 2003 I miss her alot. Though I know her spirits are here. She died at the age of 69 of kidney failure & heart disease. It was very sudden. We did not know that she was going to heaven, but i do know now that she is in less pain and with my dad. Thank you sharing that the angels are taking care of my parents. I miss them both very much. I am 35 yrs old and not having a mother or father is hard, but my family is helping me cope. Thank you for helping me see the way.

just lost my mom---this is so great

this poem touches the heart

My mother passed away 5 weeks this Friday. I believe an angel came and got her, the angel being my son who died in 1989 aged two and a half years.

This poem really touched our hearts with my family. Thank you for such beautiful words

Your poem is remarkable. It says just want I want to have our son say to his best little buddie who lost his mother on Thursay June 24, 2004. This is a very hard time not only for the children but all involved. We are making a "Mom" box and we are hoping to get permission from you to place a copy or your poem in her box. You have no idea by your writing how many people you have touched. Thanks!
