The Passing of a Grand Lady



Today November 7, 2009, My Mummie passed away. I sit here thinking how should I feel why am I not breaking out in uncontrolable tears. Yet I feel at peace for her and myself. I try to remember her and all that comes to my head are times of when I was a very young girl. As an adult I didn't get to spend alot of time with my Mum but an occasional phone call to let each other know we are alive and well.

She held her illness from me for what reason I will never know. My Mum died of colon cancer. The many times I would go visit for her it pained me to watch her deal with pain that never would get better her cries for more medication only for the nurse to say it's not time. No longer will she have to deal with this she is gone on home now. I wont even say goodbye to her because I know I will someday be with her again. I will be away for awhile in preperation of celebrating her home coming.

  1. OH Cheryl, I am so sorry to hear your Mummy has passed. What emptyness you must be experiencing. As each one of our friends and family have left us, I am always reminded of how many heartbeats they had and that I as you experienced so many with them. We always have memories to lifts us when our hearts are heavy with sadness. I wish I was there with you to hear your memories of your Mummy and share some silent moments just passing you tissues...
    Allow the sadness and tears to embrace you, and know in my heart I am there sitting beside you. You will smile again.... heartfelt wishes Madame Samm xxxx

  6. I'm a newer follower to your blog and just read this posting and hope you are holding up ok. I know how it is to loose a parent to cancer, lost my dad to it 7 years ago, can't believe the years that have gone by. And you are right, you will see your mum again. Take care.

  8. I am so sorry to hear about your Mama Cheryl. I knew she was ill and that you were worried about her. It is a blessing for her that she is no longer in pain. I know this does little to ease the pain of missing her but you are right you will be with her again one day. Much love to you and your family.
