honeybunny123's SoundClick blog - Tribute to my Mom
On October 5, 2005, my mom gave up her courageous battle with lung cancer. I want to honor her by telling you a little bit about my mom. First of all, she taught her children to love everyone unconditionally and to accept people just as they are. Secondly, she taught us how to appreciate the simple things in life...And she never spoke a critical word of anyone...My mom could sing, dance, play the piano, and brighten your day!! She always knew what to say when you needed a lift. She never complained or gave in to self pity no matter the terrible suffering she faced. I'd like to dedicate this poem to her:

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet bird in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die!

Mary Frye, 1932

Dearest friend!
Our thoughts, love and prayers are with you and your family. Dear Becky, you are a beautiful lady with such a beautiful, caring heart full of unconditional love for each and every one of us. Your mom can be very proud of her lovely daughter she taught so well about love and all things that are right. You will always carry those wonderful mother daughter memories that will forever be embedded in your heart. Close your eyes my friend and think of her, she's smiling down at you....

That is such a heartfelt poem. I just lost my brother this last month to Cancer and I know how that it is a tough battle. I think it is great to have her live through you and I think from what I have read that you are a great person to do just that. Very Nice

Peace
Rich

Funny thing. I had just posted my new blog about the death of my Dad 5 years ago was coming here to thank you for your nice compliments when I saw this Blog. To say the very least, my parents taught me the same values as your Mom taught you. We lived in Southern California and made friends with anyone we wanted to. My Mom said I had the knack of bringing home strays (dogs, cats, people) as our home was never closed to anyone. Living here in San Angelo I have seen so much bigotry and "the old boy network" of not what you know but who you know... that sometimes I forget there are millions of people who make a difference in lives every day. Your Mom obviously made a difference as do you. Thank you. I believe I'm a little less jaded leaving your page than I was when I got here. I wish more people were raised to love instead of hate. The world could be so much better if we just gave our fellow man a chance to love.

Honey,
i had so many things to write about this sad event, but almost of my comments have been made by your friends.I can see how much they appreciate your lovely soul.
Just wanna tell my mom left July 2003,not cause the warmest summer of this century(15000 people died by the "canicule" in France),but cause she was so fry by the cancer that she putted his life between hands of doctors.They gave her so many medications,it killed her 15 days before the canicule.One year before,she came at my home and we gone many times to the sea where she could swim yet,79 years old. She died 10 months later...without suffering,God bless.
She begun to teach me classical studies of piano when i was 4 years old,she was autodidact,learning herself the piano waiting my birth. She was singer but my father was a little bit jalous, so she stopped his carer cause i was coming...
I'll keep this poem and send it to her soul when thinking to her. Thanks a lot,
Hervé

Becky,
It is obvious where all your care and compassion comes from. Mothers are wonderful people whose love knows no bounds. While the passing of a loved one is always a hard thing to deal with, it is comforting to know that the memories of a good life can never be taken from us. My mother is still with us and we just celebrated her 85th birthday Saturday. However she suffers from Alzheimer’s disease and is just a shell of the person that we used to know.

I really enjoyed the poem that you shared with us. It says so much about your mother and you. Your mother raised a special and gentle soul in you and I am sure she is proud.

I'll be sending good vibes your way.
Take care and may the blessing be,
Gregory

I am very sorry for your loss, my father died of bladder and lung cancer 4 years ago, we were very close we were both born on the same day new years eve. I just downloaded my song I wrote for him. it is called, my song for life, it is some of the lessons he taught me in my life, I would love to hear what you think of it. it is not the best recording, I wrote it just before he died for fathers day, i don't think I would be able to sing it again without crying.

Hi Becky! As I read about your Mom, I could hear the echo in the words from knowing you and what she taught you about life. You are a beautiful person inside and out, and as I learn about your Mom, I see why. Peace, Love and Prayers...Chuck

Becky,
In time the loss turns to strength, and pain is drowned out with the love that was always there, and always will be there.
God bless!
