Hi Debra...
I am new to Keen, and you don't know me, but I have been reading your Bolg about your mom.  I lost my mom in Sept. 2006 and there is not a day that goes by when I don't think of her, and miss her.  She was such a special woman and I was truly blessed to have her for a mother!
At my mom's wake, and woman approached me to tell me that she was a volunteer at the nursing home where my mom spent her last weeks. Her name was Dorothy. She would go to my mom each day and sit and read to her, or simply chat.  My mom loved to talk!  :)  Anyway, a few  days later, I received a card in the mail from Dorothy with a poem inside.  I am sending it along to you.  Yes, it made me cry to read it.  But the words touched my heart, as I hope they will touch yours.  My thoughts are with you.

May I Go?
Don't you think the time is right?
May I say good-bye to pain filled days
and endless lonely nights?
I've lived my life and done my best,
an example tried to be.
So, can I take that step beyond
and set my spirit free?
I didn't want to go at first.
I fought with all my might!
But something seems to  draw me now
to a warm and loving light.
I want to go!
I really do!
It's difficult to stay.
But I will try as best I can
to live just one more day...
To give you time to care for me
and share your love and fears.
I know you're  sad, and are afraid
because I see your tears.
I'll not be far, I promise that,
and hope you'll always know
that my spirit will be close to you
wherever you may go.
Thank you so for loving me.
You know I loved you too.
That's why it's hard to say good-bye
and end this life with you.
So hold me now, just one more time,
and let me hear you say,
because you care so much for me
you'll let me go today.

Thankyou Cassandra.
I'm sure your beautiful poem not only helped Debra but it helped me as I lost my Father in Law last night.
((HUGS)) to both of you.
