My mother passed away 3 months ago. She was my companion, my world, my heart. Everything. I am so broken as not a moment passes by without memories of her. She had labored all her life to have me educated, and now just passed on just about time to see me flourish. Mama, you may have passed from the surface of this Earth, but you will forever remain in my heart. Love you, my sweet, sweet mother Mariam Bendu Sheriff. I love you.

My son Ireal "Kiki" Moreno was murdered June 14,2008. It's been 7 years now but the pain won't go away. I cry myself to sleep every night, everyday I think about him and I can't focus. My whole life has changed. Reading this poem made me take a deep breath and tears came to my eyes. I'm going to read this poem on his 7th year anniversary. Thank You.

My sons father, was murdered on 11-28-12 I was a witness to his murder he was shot I stood by his side till his last breath. I miss him so much and wish I never saw what I did see but I'm glad I was there so he wouldn't die alone. That was the most difficult day of my life. Everyday I wish I could have prevented what happen or his last words he was trying to tell me before he past. Thank you for my 2 boys who are now 3 and 6 I love you and you will always be my Hero

As I sit here watching my Mother and best friend, make the transition from this life to the next, it hurts more than words can describe. But while doing a search for a poem to read during her memorial service, I came across Memories, and instantly knew this was the poem. It spoke to me exactly as I know it will be when I no longer have her on this earth. It made me feel better, because I know she'll be with our Lord. And she will always be in my prayers until we meet again.

This passed January I lost my dad and it has been really hard. Not long after my dad passed away my nephew who was only 2 1/2 years old died in March of this year. I haven't been able to grieve because I have tried to keep my mind off and focus on my school work. The day after my father passed away I had got nominated for the Dallas Herring Award I just cried and wished my dad could be here to see me. When my nephew died I was so devastated and my mothers boyfriend had to drag me away from his grave I wished I could've went with him. I know that the memories I have will always be with me in my heart forever.

I lost my only child, Alice Baksh-Jillah of Leukemia. Ever since that day May 8, 2006 I am unable to get a grasp of my life. My sweet Alice was everything to me, my world which was taken from me. My Alice was 10 years old, but it was as if she came into my life and disappear as quickly as she came. Everyday I ask GOD why he took my beautiful so soon and left me heartbroken. Thanks for allowing me to write and share my sweet Alice,
Thank you.

I am the oldest of nine kids and I have been taking care of my whole family including our mom, as they have grieved, this poem was finally able to let me release my own flood of grief stricken tears tonight. Thank you so much for sharing it with me.

My grandpa had passed away on my birthday May 8 2012. Since my birthday is coming up I've been crying non stop. I dearly miss him & I know he's in my heart but I can't help the feeling that I'm hopeless in life without him. My first birthday without him makes me feel empty. My emotions get deeper & deeper as I continue to think about him. It's hard to cope with a death that happened on my birthday.

I lost my daughter Angela 10 years ago when she was 14. she died of undiagnosed heart condition, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. I did all I could, mouth to mouth resus and CPR. I knew I was not getting her back but I kept trying. I miss her so much and the poem has just brought her back beside me. Do not despair even though your heart is so heavy with pain. I know I will be with her and all family one day, when my time here is finished. keep strong.

I lost my precious 5 month old granddaughter, Azaria Tasneem on 10 January 2012 (my 1st month wedding anniversary) Needless to say, the joy of my marriage has taken a back step! My memories of Azaria are the same as in the poem, although as much as it brings a smile to my face thinking about her, it also hurts sometimes. When it gets too painful to think about her, I end up blocking out her memories. Its been a hell of a 5 month roller coaster of emotions! I pray for Azaria's 21 year old mom (my daughter Robyn), myself and every and anyone who has lost a loved one. May the Holy Spirit be our comforter and bring us much needed healing. Amen.

My sister passed away before I was born and even though I haven't met her my heart aches to meet her to hold her one time my mum doesn't let it show how much she misses her as it upsets me and my other 3 sisters but we know how much it hurts her. It's been almost 19 years and recently my Grandad died my mums dad, so it really gets her down sometimes.

This reminds me of the people I've lost in my life... when I was ten my mom died of terminal cancer that started in the lungs then may 2010 my boyfriend of 15 months passed away from a epileptic seizure when he fell in to a pond and filled his lungs with water then 4 days later my grandma died and then in October 2010 my dad died of cancer which he had for almost 13 years. I miss them deeply but I know they will always be in my heart.

This story really touched me because I lost my mother when I was eight and well after my mother died my dad started going on longer and longer business trips and well I'm 15 now and I haven't seen my father since I was 9 so I haven't seen my folks in about 6 or 7 years but that's okay because now I live with my older step brother who is 20.
