Mom’s
anniversary, 18 years ago today…
A particularly poignant anniversary as I begin to approach the age she was when she passed away.
I’ve
fought so many exhausting battles over 18 years with the conflicted feelings this death and this
anniversary bring...
Some
I have finally been able to abandon and let go
Some
I’ve resolved and come to grips with
Some
are just newly revealed to me this year
I still miss her every day, there are so many times I’ve wished I could share accomplishments and
personal growth with her…just grab the phone and call her to hear her say she
was proud…
Too
many family celebrations and milestones tick by without her beaming smile...
Too
many family tragedies that would have been easier to cope with if she had just been
there…particularly considering the events this summer...
18
years, the age I was when I first moved away from home and the place I wish
every day I could return to…
This Woman's Work – Kate Bush
Pray
God you can cope
I
stand outside this woman's work
This
woman's world
Ooh,
it's hard on the man
Now
his part is over
Now
starts the craft of the father
I
know you've got a little life in you yet
I
know you've got a lot of strength left
I
know you've got a little life in you yet
I
know you've got a lot of strength left
I
should be crying, but I just can't let it show
I
should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking
Of
all the things I should've said
That
I never said
All
the things we should've done
Though
we never did
All
the things I should've given
But
I didn't
Oh,
darling, make it go
Make
it go away
Give
me these moments back
Give
them back to me
Give
me that little kiss
Give
me your hand
(I
know you have a little life in you yet)
(I
know you have a lot of strength left)
(I
know you have a little life in you yet)
(I
know you have a lot of strength left)
I
should be crying, but I just can't let it show
I
should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking
Of
all the things we should've said
That
we never said
All
the things we should've done
Though
we never did
All
the things that you needed from me
All
the things that you wanted for me
All
the things that I should've given
But
I didn't
Oh,
darling, make it go away
Just
make it go away now
