mama I miss you.. how are you coping?!
Mama, I appreciate you for all the things that you've done for me, but what you never taught me how to do was miss you while you're not here. Mama, I miss you. This is a poem that I wrote the other day or just came to my mind. I thought I'd write one because I was missing my mom. Holidays were around, so I just wanted to know how others cope with the holidays, with this holiday season being among us or about to begin

We all have one mom, and when she's gone, we're not going to find another. She carried us for nine or ten months, and we got to know her very well because we shared a lot of things with her in that time frame. She credited us when we were born. She fed us, she helped us walk. She talked back to us. She watched the tears from our eyes when we cried. She shared the exciting moments. That's what mothers do

And I'm interested in that plan you're talking about, but for some strange reason, I don't know how to inbox you or private message you. I was looking for that. I have no clue. So I'm willing to have you share your plan, but I just got to figure out how to inbox you or if you can inbox me. That be great. Thank you. Bye

Hey. Thank you so much for responding. Give me just a little bit and I actually will send you a message. I think I might be able to figure it out, but it's very simple plan, and I want you to cater it towards yourself. But I'm going to tell you what I did and how I did it, and it's not something that's easy. It's something that takes dedication, time and patience

You. Hey, hey. Good morning. Good morning. What a lovely, lovely poem. And thank you for sharing your heart and your grief with us. I just wanted to pop in and tell you how much I appreciate your offering and share with you how much support you and others in your journey with who I've named aptly sister grief. It could be brother grief. You don't have to give it any kind of gender perspective, but I found that it's helped me in my journey

So I just kind of try to think about what she might say to me in those situations that I'm going through. And yes, I do believe in the veneration of my ancestors without me saying too much, I do believe in that. And again, that's how it has helped me when she passed, to be able to not totally lose my mind, because my mom and I were very close. So I appreciate your response. It is very encouraging

You. Hey. Hey. Great. Great. Sister, I hope that you are doing well. I know it has been a minute, because I've been so busy with life. It comes at you fast, doesn't it? But I appreciate your response, as well. And I am going through and trying to catch up on my swells, and I just wanted to check in with you. And I hope that you're doing well
