In Memory of my Mom 1947 - 2011

My Mom passed away today after a hard fight with cancer. While the loss of her life on Earth is sad beyond words, the knowledge that she is no longer in pain and in a better place with her heavenly Father is comforting to my soul and my heart. I am short on words and long in tears today therefore I leave you with a poem that has always brought laughter to my Mom and I. I believe she would want laughter today and not tears even though that is hard. I will miss you Mom!!!

When me prayers were poorly said

Who tucked me in me widdle bed

And spanked me til me ass was red?

Me Mudder

Who took me from me cozy cot

And put me the ice cold pot

And made me pee if me could not ?

Me Mudder

And when the morning light would come

And in me crib me dribble some

Who wiped me tiny widdle bum ?

Me Mudder

Who would me hair so gently part

And hug me gently to her heart

And sometimes squeeze me til me fart ?

Me Mudder

Who looked at me with eyebrows knit

And nearly had a king-size fit

When in me Sunday pants me s**t ?

Me Mudder

When at night the bed did squeak

Me raised me head to have a peek

Who yelled at me to go to sleep ?

Me Fadder
