Mother

I wish you were here mom, to help me with my kids. To hear you slowly say, ‘get some rest Loretta’ over and over. I never imagined you not being here in this season of my life. I'm trying NOT to feel like a failure in my children's education. Not to feel like a failure as a mom, period. Every day, I wish I could hear you say, ‘be kind to yourself, Loretta.’

When you say it, it permeates in my heart. In a chaotic midst of motherhood, I long to talk to you on the phone. I really miss you mom, so much. 

Then you were here, spiritually, squeezing my heart. Bringing me back to life. Reminding me that YOU ARE STILL HERE.

Just a butterfly away and deep within my soul, whispering, be gentle and kind to yourself. Rest Loretta, it's okay. Those seeds you planted before leaving this earth, it grows inside me. I hear my voice but it's you behind the words. 

Mother.
