~~ I wrote this the day after my mom passed away. On her death certificate, it states, "Failure to thrive." My mother was tired of being ill and dependent on me, she choose to go be with God because she quit eating. Oh, How I begged, and pleaded for her just to take a bite of this or that. I would cook all her favorites trying to entice her to eat. Nothing worked. See, It "WAS" her choice. But, I miss her each and every day. I was bitter for a long time but have learned to accept.

You were tired, I saw it in your face.
The end was coming at a fast pace.
But, how I wanted you to stay...
In time, I came to understand,
your will was not my command.
Life just became too hard for you.
I didn't want to see.....but I knew..
You had to be where you could fly.
Mom, It's so hard to say good-bye.
You were mine for all those years,
I'll miss you and cry my tears.
But I also know, that's okay..
for we'll be together again some day.

Now I suffer almost as much as she did. Wednesday is our birthday. We were so close, like twins. Her obituary read two people with one soul. I too pray that we will once again see each other. Who knows? Do we just change form? Does our energy become one with God's? Maybe we are all the same being in different forms. Quantum Physics is proving more and more that this is actually the case.
I wish you well my friend on your trip to recovery if that is possible.
