I can't sleep and realize that the month of May is just ahead and memories of you flood my mind. The years have flown by and I think about you daily my precious mother. A song comes to me in that you used to whistle often throughout my childhood and now when I hear you whistling it in my head, it brings comfort to my longing heart to be with you once again. That day will come and as you said on your death bed, "you have to come here but not too soon" and I have not forgotten you saying that to me. I need to live in the now, let God heal the trauma of my past and bring Him glory all the days of my life here on earth. Someday, I will be there with Jesus and you, mom. What a day that will be! I know that this song meant a lot to you and I understand why now. Love for your children is the closest thing to God's love and so unconditional. Life is all about love and relationship. Thank you for teaching me that so deeply, mom. See you soon..xoxo

You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are grey
You'll never know, dear
How much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

The other night, dear
As I lay sleeping
I dreamt I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear
I was mistaken
So I hung my head and cried

You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are grey
You'll never know, dear
How much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
Please don't take my sunshine away
