Mourning Mama

loss #Cancer #sadness I thought of you the day before yesterday, when I opened my front door and heard the birds chirp, signaling Spring’s approach. You always delighted in birds of any size.

I thought of you yesterday when the Robins returned and played in the plum tree. You enjoyed watching them flit among the branches.

I thought of you today when the tree outside your window bloomed with light plum-colored buds. You loved counting every bud and blossom.
I wonder what will remind me of you tomorrow, and the next day, and the day after that?

One thing I know, enough days have passed since you left for heaven, to convince me of this—I will never forget you, for nature will always remind me of my Mama. I miss you.

Thank you for posting this! Last week, I almost told Liam that we would stop by to visit Gigi and caught myself, then held back the tears. I miss her so much!

  It’s surprising how knowledge of her loss doesn’t connect with the fact of her loss. I went into her room for several days to stare at her empty bed. The visual reminder eventually did help me process her departure. 😦

I’m E.V. Sparrow

Coffee imbiber, chocolate connoisseur (sugar free please, so I don’t have to give it up), and the studier of personalities. My current book series of 3 is historical fiction inspired by my quirky great grandfather on my dad’s side of the family tree. On October 27, 2024, The BookFest Awards bestowed First Place in General Historical Fiction upon it! Stunningly unexpected.

Book 2 focuses on his sister’s life, and Book 3 reveals some of his son’s life.

According to many rumors, authors never stop learning. I’m studying and reading cozy mysteries for future projects. I’ve convinced myself I’ve adjusted to the black hole of writing and the author’s life. Why not add more challenges? What could happen?

Glad you’ve visited my site, and hope you’re intrigued enough for us to connect further on social media.
