I am present...Hi Jeanne, now you have inspired me. I am presently caring for my mother who is dying. I have made all funeral arrangements, organized catering, flowers, written obit for newspaper etc., but I have yet to know how to express to our family and friends the love my mother had for my father. You see my father died just 6 months ago and my Mom missed him terribly. She told me recently that she would like to die this year. I was shocked when she revealed this. I asked why and her response was that she had nothing to live for. In my mind we, her children, grandchildren, good friends and siblings would count, but we were not what she needed. Dad is. Everyone is amazed at my mothers good nature in accepting her recent diagnosis of untreatable cancer. She is radiating knowing that she will be will my father again. When I read Brownings poem I knew that this was the sentiment she would like to express and most especially the last 2 lines. This is the poem I will read at her funeral. Thank you. xobbrenda murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18248254731321020314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063946489075478675.post-31582075119011585962017-03-02T11:23:12.804-05:002017-03-02T11:23:12.804-05:00Oh I do love the sound of #43....especially with t...Oh I do love the sound of #43....especially with that poem!
