On New Years Day,
five years ago,
my mom left this world,
and every January
I take a few days,
go off by myself,
hybernate,
and miss her dearly.
On a lighter note,
it's almost
Valentines Day,
and I bought some
of my favorite
Valentine chocolates.
This reminds me
of all the love I get
from each of you
every day.
I miss you mom,
and me and the girls
just wanted to say
Hello.

I'm with you,
Moms have a special place in our hearts that no one else can fill.
When my Mom passed away years ago,
I'm never the same... up to this day I miss her terribly.
Oh- How sad that she left you on New Year's Day. It will always be a bittersweet day for you- Happy for a New Year and sad missing your Mom. Bless you, Sheri-xoDiana
New Years Day must be tough for you; we do love our moms. My mom died way too young, at age 54. You be sure and enjoy those yummy chocolates.
Hugs for you sweet Sherry and for your girls too. You are all in my thoughts and prayers for comfort.
Love, Marilou xoxo
Dear Sheri: Thank you for sharing your deep feelings about missing your Mom, and how you cope with her loss. It must be so difficult...
I see you also enjoy Mary Engelbreit. I like her artwork; it makes me smile. Hoping to bring a smile your way.

Sending lots of hugs. I know how it is. This year will be 20 years since my mum passed. And it is still as hard. Lots of love your way, my dear friend. xx
I understand my dear. My mommy has been gone now going on 27 years and though the pain subsides, it wells up as LOVE from time to time. The arrow of love stays in your heart forever. Love to you, Anita
So sorry...there's no one like your mother! I hope you have a better day soon!
Blessings,
Dear Sheri,
In the Netherlands there's a saying...(I will try to translate)
Mothers don't die, they live on in the hearts of those who love her.
I love that saying.
And oh I wish I could taste those chocolates fudge hearts.
Hugs,

Sheri, My own mother passed away 2006 and I miss her everyday. I think the sharp sense of loss can ease, but the longing never goes away. Blessings to you and your girls. xoxo,Susie
You will always miss your Mom Sheri, but with time the pain will subside. ( I still have my mom, but lost my dad 20 years ago) Think of the happy times, i'm sure that will make her happy as she watches over you...Have a good weekend. Mary

I am so sorry that you lost your mom, and especially on new years day. That is bound to be difficult.
Thank you for your kind comment at my blog. It is very good to meet you! I'm having lots of fun looking through your blog this afternoon. I love the phone booth picture in this post! Adorable! Blessings!
I know how hard it is, Mother's truly are our best friends. But we are all sending love your way, and wishing you a blessed new year.

When my father was already very ill I used to think - selfishly - that I didn't "want" him to die on a "special" day or a marked day.
I'd grown with my uncle, his brother, never celebrating his birthday - and being a very sad day in the family - because their father (my granfather) died on my uncle's brithday... they were very small, my father was 4 and my uncle 2 and my grandmother became a widow - and never remarried - at 23, and the family mourned the day for years and years... see? I was born so long after it and the proximity of the date filled me with sadness and sorrow.
When my father dies, he does so in a no special day. It was no one's birthday, it wasn't Christmas... and it hurts the same. The day becomes engraved in your mind. People mention the date and you first think "oh, the..." and then a chill covers your body and soul.
You are so right in taking the day to be with your Mother. With your shared memories.
Blessings of Warmth and Peace may fill your Hearts.

Hello ... It is so nice to meet you.. Thanks for dropping by my blog.. My heart goes out to you as you miss your dear Mother.. I am blessed to still have my Mom but my precious Dad has been gone for 23 years and I miss him still.. After all this time...
Take care ....
So sorry Sheri and no how hard this time is for you and your family as I feel the same way in September when my dear old dad passed away three years ago.
Sending lots of hugs and may you feel comfort knowing that others are thinking of you. Do hope you are feeling better and really sorry to hear you have had the flu. My husband and kids got the flu just after Christmas and there seems to be a lot going around,
Hugs

So sad you are missing mom... that is one of the hardest people to miss...I'll bet she always had the best advice. She's still listening!
What a sweet remembrance of your mom ... this was so sweet Sheri.
Sheri, what a sweet post. The angel picture is beautiful.
Sorry your missing your mom.

As I am growing older,I find myself missing so many people I have loved. My firstborn son died at Christmas many years ago and it always hurts at Christmas more than any other time. But I had no idea how much I would miss my Mum and Dad and every day I think of them. I love your posts they always have something special about them.
Sheri,
We'll always have moments when we miss our moms. So glad that you take time to yourself to miss her in your own special way.
