Passed away tonite - heart attack.  The nursing home was more than happy to wait for me before taking her away.  Sitting there it dawned on me that I came from the lifeless body that lied before me, was nursed by this body, was taken care of by the small hands before me.  I placed my head on her chest the way I used to do when I was upset and she knew me.  Gordon sat next to me while I hugged her thin body and sobbed my heart out.  

Before I left, I gave her kisses all over her face and told her we'll see each other again soon.  No more pain, no more tears, no more fear.

BYE FOR NOW MOM...

Love,
Langa

I'm so sorry for your loss Maria.  I know it has been a tough haul these last few years and I hope you both will find peace.  

Your mom not only gave you life and nursed you Maria, she gave her strength to you as well.  You have much to be proud of and a good part of that is due to her strength and wisdom.  She was a good woman.  God's speed.

Love, Paul

I'm so sorry Maria.   :'(  Remember the love and the good times.

Quote:

Life Unbroken Death is nothing at all I have only slipped into the next room. I am I, and you are you: Whatever we were to each other, we are still. Call me by my old familiar name; Speak to me in the easy way you always used Put no difference into your tone; Wear no air of solemnity or sorrow; Laugh as we always laughed At the little jokes we enjoyed together; Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever The household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effect; Without the ghost of a shadow on it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was. There is absolutely unbroken continuity. What is this death but negligible accident? Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you, For an interval, somewhere, very near Just around the corner. All is well. by Harry Scott-Holland

Dear Langa,

Your pain was perfectly and beautifully expressed. I cannot help but cry for your loss. Not so long ago it was mine. The following has helped me, I pray it is some comfort for you.
