Mommies of Angels

I'm having a very hard time this year with Mother's Day because I am caught between feeling sad that my son is not here with me and feeling elated that my daughter is. I'm sure that someone here can relate.

Someone sent this to me and I thought I would share it with you...

A Mothers Day Wish From Heaven
by: Jody Seilheimer

Dear Mr. Hallmark,
I am writing to you from heaven, and though it must appear
A rather strange idea, I see everything from here.
I just popped in to visit, your stores to find a card
A card of love for my mother, as this day for her is hard.

There must be some mistake I thought,
every card you could imagine
Except I could not find a card, from a child who lives in heaven.
She is still a mother too, no matter where I reside
I had to leave, she understands, but oh the tears she's cried.

I thought that if I wrote you, that you would come to know
that though I live in heaven now, I still love my mother so.
She talks with me, and dreams with me;
we still share laughter too,
Memories our way of speaking now, would you see what you could do?

My mother carries me in her heart, her tears she hides from sight.
She writes poems to honor me, sometimes far into the night
She plants flowers in my garden, there my living memory dwells
She writes to other grieving parents, trying to ease their pain as well.

So you see Mr. Hallmark, though I no longer live on earth
I must find a way, to remind her of her wondrous worth
She needs to be honored, and remembered too
Just as the children of earth will do.

Thank you Mr. Hallmark, I know you'll do your best
I have done all I can do; to you I'll leave the rest.
Find a way to tell her, how much she means to me
Until I can do it for myself, when she joins me in eternity.

That poem brought so many tears to my eyes that I couldn't even finish reading it...

This is my 3rd Mother's Day without my son...and my 1st without my husband since now we're divorced. This is really going to be a tough day for me to get through...

Thanks for posting this for all of us "Mommies of Angels"...
