Although your work on earth is done,
Your life in heaven has just begun.
Your struggles here were hard and long,

Life wasn't easy, by choice or fate.
A decision made, sometimes too late.
A fight to the finish, always strong.
Rest easy, Mom, you're finally home.

I was raised mostly by my Grandmother, my Dads Mom and even though its been yrs. Since her passing I miss and think of her every single day. We were very close when I was growing up. She taught me what real unconditional love is as well as how important it is in life to reach out and help others whenever possible. She was in lot of pain most time but rarely let it show. Thank You sharing!!!
