For Mom, my guardian angel…
Subtle little clues
You like to leave behind
To let me know you’re with me
Making it easier to find
Boxes filled with memories
Clothes, once hung upon the door
Are now laying in the hallway
Where you’ve put them, on the floor
You really needn’t show me
I can feel your presence near
Reminding me to be careful
Of the many treasures here
I’ve wrapped them up in paper
Placed them gently, as not to break
Packed up everything I could
Oh, how my heart does ache
Yet, in very quiet moments,
When I am in your home,
I can hear you whisper
“You’ll never be alone”

Our sympathy with you.
After my dad passed in December I received a box from my stepmom and one from my brother. I wish you gentle hugs in your memories ❤️

I hear ya. I took time off, too. I’m trying to get back into the habit of writing daily. I know that’s what my mom would want me to do.
