God's Call - Still
fondly remembered after 25 years
Full Name: Bonnie Andrews Who do you want the poem written for?: remembering our mom, and wife Why do you want the poem written ?: The 25 the anniversary of her death is this Feb. Key Messages: We are a very close family. She was a wonderful person and we miss her so very much. Memorable Moments: She spent so much of her adult life sick in bed. In the year 1970 she had open heart surgery, and she enjoyed life so much after that, until she died from further complications of heart disease in 1978. Going grocery shopping or to Ames department store was a thrill! Over the years she suffered much, and seemed at peace when her time came. She was tired of the fight. Other Comments: She now has 7 grandchildren in all. (She had only 3 when she passed away). You even have a beautiful, grown granddaughter named Catherine Cecilia, after you. Also you now have 1 great granddaughter. How we wish they all could have known, the kind loving Gramma you were. We had 2 weddings this summer, how we wish you could have been there. April (granddaughter), and Franny (grandson). We are all still very close, and are getting together this year not to celebrate the anniversary of your death, but your life, and how very lucky to have you as a wife and mother. We'll probably put on some of your favorite Johnny Cash records, and I imagine shed some tears. We love you and miss you so much. You will always be our special angel! Style: Remembrance Last thoughts: I think you probably understand how much she was loved. Any of your ideas would be appreciated. Would it be possible to have this in a week? (Yes) Thank- you so much, Bonnie Andrews
God's Call
You were such a small person,
but you had this magnificent big
heart
and you made such an impact on our
lives,
now to describe it - where do we
start?
Hello, my wonderful Mom,
I know you can hear these words
(somewhere),
and I'm really quite pleased about
that,
because we have a few important
lines to share.
I hope you're happy in your new
place,
and I trust you're enjoying the
simple life there too,
just know that you're always in our
thoughts,
and of course, we still, very much,
love you.
Sometimes it's so hard to believe,
because 25 years has flown by so
fast,
but our love for you was a strong
one,
and it was a love that was always
going to last.
We do miss you so very much,
and on days, it's still hard being
apart,
but your spirit lives on within us
all,
and you're always there, right
there, in our heart.
And you'll be pleased to know that
your branches have spread,
but you probably already know that,
there in heaven,
but not only do you have a
granddaughter named Catherine Cecilia,
you have many more grandchildren,
in fact, there's seven.
And your wonderful genes are being
passed down,
and your great granddaughter
carries them with pride,
and she, like you always were,
is beautiful on the in and the
outside.
And life is too short for regrets,
but we wish it was you in person
that they've known,
because like us, they would have
all benefited,
from all the boundless love that
you've shown.
We had two weddings this summer,
I imagined you there, I imagined
your smile,
I imagined the proud look on your
face,
as your grandchildren walked down
that aisle.
Because we are still a very close
family,
and that's why we're gathered here
to celebrate,
we're celebrating your life, not
your death,
and yes, there's one other thing
we'd like to state.
You spent a lot of your adulthood
in bed,
so at times, I think your life
was a difficult plight,
over the years you suffered so
much,
so in the end you seemed at
peace, you'd had enough of the fight.
We've all been truly blessed by
your love,
and we're proud of our angel in the
skies,
and we'll listen out for
you playing your Johnny Cash records
and if we hear you - it'll come as
no surprise.
Because, Mom, you truly are alive
and well,
and your spirit and fortitude lives
within us all,
and we know you had to go when you
did,
because every angel needs to answer
God's call.

"The poem is perfect! I wouldn't change a thing. I am going to try and read this at our family get together this Sunday, (if I can get through it without crying) and then put it in the local newspaper the following week. It is a surprise for everyone (except my daughter). Thank-you so much. You don't know how much this means to us. I'll let you know there reaction next week. I'm sure I'll be back for more poems. Thanks again. Bonnie Andrews P.S. Please feel free to use it on your web site" |
