I was blessed to have my beautiful mother for 58 years of my life. She was diagnosed with lung cancer February 14, 2008 and went to be with Jesus September 26, 2008. She was the kind of mother who lived for her children, grandchildren & whoever needed her. She was loved and is missed dearly by everyone who knew her.

Missing Mama

I awake each morning to start a new day
But the pain of loosing you never goes away.
I go about the things I have to do
And as the hours pass I think again of you.
I want to call you and just hear your voice
Then I remember that I have no choice
For you are not there and now my heart cries
Just to see you again to tell you goodbye
To say Mama I love you and I always will
And hope that much of you, in me you've instilled.
The day that you left I just didn't know
That you were going where I couldn't go.
And now all my memories of you are so dear
But gosh, how I miss you and wish you were here.
Who now can hear me when I need to cry?
It so hard to tell you "Mama goodbye."
Someday I know all will be well
And I'll see you again with stories to tell
Of how you were missed and how we have grown
And how good it is to finally be home.
Until then my memories of you I'll keep near
And I'll pass them on to those who are dear.
I miss you Mama, Claudia

On my mother's 57th birthday, May 14th, 2008, she was diagnosed with lung cancer. 10 short weeks later, and on the 10 year anniversary of my grandfathers death, we lost her. Not an hour goes by where I don't think of her. Every now and then something will happen, and I think "Oh, I have to remember to tell mom that!" and then I remember, I can't tell her. This was a wonderful poem, and expresses perfectly how I feel. Thank you.

My mother was to be 57 that year in 1997 and cancer took her on June 9 1997, she was diagnosed Dec 96 and was gone by June so fast so quick. Even after all these years the pain is still there the thought and need to want to hear and speak to her is just as strong reading this poem expresses that so thank you very much.

My mom was diagnosed in Jan 2008 with breast cancer and we lost her on Sep 2 2008, there is not a day that goes by that I don't think of her. My mom was my best friend I miss her very much. (Cancer is a horrible disease.)

My mother was diagnosed with lung cancer too. I was told the words no one wants to hear which is she has "one year to live"! I moved home to be closer with the thought that we were going to beat cancer and live happily after that. No thought in my mind of anything else cause it was inconceivable. I needed her here too much!! I don't know here true diagnosis cause I later learned she knew for 5 years prior. She passed on Valentine's Day 2008 she is truly missed. SO Valentines will be extra hard but I have lost a person I truly loved (no matter our trials and tribulations she truly loved me and I truly loved her. I love you mom always and forever

My Mama was diagnosed with sigmoid colon cancer. I lost her on Jan 2009. Since then I can't stop crying. Even now, typing and crying... I Miss You So Much, Mummy!!!! Love You Forever.

Thank you so much for writing this poem. My mama passed away at the young age of 56. She lived for taking care of others. Her children and grandchildren were her life! Every word in the poem is exactly how I am feeling right now. It's only been 6 months since losing my mom, but the pain has not eased in the slightest. I know that I would never want her to be back on this earth and endure the pain she was under (due to liver disease), but the selfish part of me wants her back anyway. Thank you again for sharing your feelings...which are almost identical to mine. Bless you and your family!!!

I'm sorry about your mama, I lost mine at the young age of 30 she was taken by god in a car accident I was only 12 its been 28 yrs this Sept. and I miss her so much. I want to say this is a beautiful poem I hope your memories of your Mama help you through your days.

Shelly Posted on Saturday, August 22, 2009

I am very sorry for your loss. Your poem says exactly how i feel. I lost my Mum to lung cancer at 54, just 7 weeks after we found out. So quick. Then exactly 1 year later I lost my Dad to bladder cancer. I know they are with me, but it is not the same not being able to give them a hug and kiss or even a simple phone call. My thoughts are with you. Take care...xx

It's been almost a year since my Mom passed away. I miss her so very much. Some days I wonder if it ever gets easier? My mom was not only my Mom, but also my roommate (for the last seven years of her life) and truly my best friend. I miss not having her around to tell everything to. A Mom listens even when no one else wants to. My prayers and thoughts are with all who have lost their mom.

I lost my Mom on August 9,2008 it wasn't a complete shock because she had been sick for about a year, but the night she died the last thing I told her was that I hated her and you know I thought that I could apologize the next morning and that everything would be ok but at about 4:30 am I got woke up and was told that she wasn't breathing and she had to go to the hospital I remember thinking that she could pull through because she was so strong and then I looked up and her lips were blue and I tried to hold her hand and it was cold and I knew she was gone it's been a little over a year and it gets easier each day but still there are days when I think it was just a dream

At least we all know we are not alone in our feelings for our Mothers. My mother, too, was taken too soon from us - at the age of 71. She too lived for her children and grandchildren and we all miss her very much. Its been almost a year since my Mom passed away too - and we all wonder daily if it ever gets easier. Her loss has definitely left a huge void in our hearts and in our lives. I send out my thoughts and prayers to all who have lost their dear mothers.

Linda Posted on Monday, September 14, 2009

Thank you for such a beautiful poem. I feel you pain I too lost my beautiful mother 2 August 2009, my mama was 68. She left us with no warning, so unexpected was her passing, I feel a great loss and emptiness in my heart...I thank god for the memories I had with my beloved mother and for having her in my life...God bless you. We have something no one can take from us, our mother's love and memories will live forever in our hearts

I'm 14 years old & I lost my mom on January 26,2008. it was truly the hardest thing I've ever been through. She wasn't sick, it was an accidental overdose (at least from what they tell me). My mother was my best friend and the nicest woman you'd ever have an encounter with. It's hard not having a mother at such a young age, it's like the only thing you want to do, is call her up about a boy or school and you can't! and for me that's the hardest part about this whole thing. I miss my mom with all my heart and each and everyday it kills me more and more that I know she's never coming back. I can't visit her grave because it's hard knowing that I'm standing over her and I can't see her. It truly is the hardest thing anybody will ever have to go through, because there is no love Like a mothers love

I love you mommy

Kristen Posted on Saturday, October 24, 2009

This is my favorite poem, I've read it at least 10 times over the last 2 months. You words are deep. Although my mother is still with me (and I thank god) I am unable to read this poem without crying just thinking about the pain. I may not truely know how painful it will be until that day, but I've lost a brother so I definitely know pain. Words can't truely describe, but they help give us an idea of what one is feeling.
Thanks for blessing us all with your poem.
