Dear Mother.

Its been a year to this very day,
the last day I saw you look at me and understand.
You saw the tears in my eyes, and I saw yours.
Somehow we both knew, and I will never forget.

Im not quite sure what is harder to believe;
You living once or you leaving forever.
It hurts and I feel like I'm all alone;
I just want some way to reach you.

Its starting to get easier though.
As the days continue, you seem to fade.
You exist less and less;
but the memories hold on by many threads.

The myth of you and I are tightly strung together;
even after you have left.
It seems when I can't honestly decide,
Your the only one who will ever know.

In you knowing i feel like your here.
smiling at me with the same eyes I have been gifted with;
ready to take on tomorrow;
we would take it on together.

Soon it will be ten years to this very day,
and I will always remember.
Ill be grown up and you will be here;
You'll be here with me. forever.

RIP
anne schlipp, amazing mother.
