Hello, Happy Mother's Day to all of you wonderful Moms! Today I wanted to share with you a video I made in tribute to my Mother and My Mother in Law who both passed away in 2008. In it you will see their legacy's by viewing pictures of all the beautiful people they brought into this world before they left. My Mom had six children, which led to 10 grand children and one great granddaughter. My Mother in law had two sons, which led to 3 grandchildren and 2 great grand children. How I miss them, and still find myself having moments of grief. But as time goes by, I comfort myself by thinking of their beautiful spirits, their love, and how lucky I was to have had them in my life. So if your a Mom, kick back, relax and enjoy the very special day that you so deserve! I know I will. Thanks for visiting, Janet :)
Hi Everyone, I hope you are doing well. I am doing good. At my last job I met a dear friend Donna, that now looking back was with me in a time in my life that I needed her more than she will ever know. There are few people who I consider the salt of the Earth, Angels among us. She is and not to make you feel uncomfortable or embarrassed Donna I know this from all the similar experiences we shared losing our Parents. Both our Father's passed without warning, no chance to say goodbye. Our mother's suffered, yours much to young. You unknowingly showed me how to survive my mom's goodbye. I always felt sad I never met your mom, but doing this post today I realized I do know her, because her spirit lives on in you. Children are there greatest tribute how proud she must of been of you. I got behind this year on posting a poem for her Birthday on November 8th, but without checking my past blogs I knew instinctly it was that time. Although our lives keep us indifferent directions now, You are always in my thoughts and I still sense things like I did when we were together a lot. We had so many great laughs together and someday I look forward to having them again. This song was mine and my mother's as I played it softly and whispered it in her ear many a day in the end, I know you will appreciate it more than others. Take Care, Janet :)
So in tribute to your beautiful mom I hope you like this poem and this song.
When I came into this world, your arms did secure. When I cried to thrive. Your touch brought my spirit to life
When I found my feet, Your hand gave me trust, And I learned to step to my own beat as let go you must
When life's lessons I could not understand, only a child, your words made them less grand. Ok I knew I would be and smiled
When I grew and needed to find who I was deep inside, your example taught me I would find the path for me and walk in the light.
When your Journey was reaching the end, We laid together and prayed. God and the Angels had come your way, I felt your peace as your spirit slowly transcended and flew away. With a gentle kiss, I let go as I must.

Staring up into the heavens In this hell that binds your hands Will you sacrifice your comfort? Make your way in a foreign land?
Wrestle with your darkness Angels call your name Can you hear what they are saying? Will you ever be the same?
