My thoughts have been very much with my Angel Sister who had another Birthday in Heaven and this time her very 1st together with Mom...
It was on January 11, last year that I talked for about half an hour with Mom; my actual goodbye to her as I did not get any chances later.
That phone call I will cherish for the rest of my life. I congratulated Mom first on the Birthday of her Angel daughter.
We did chat about a lot of things.
Mom had not slept all night... so scared.
But knowing that she could call on all the ANGELS she knew by name, she did calm down.
She also was speaking so sweetly about my Dad. She said: 'I still LOVE him very much!'
Almost on her death bed and still worrying about him!
When I told her that she had to focus on herself now, that all would be well with Dad, she accepted her fate and has been very brave.
On January 27 of 2015 Mom joined my Angel Sister...
MISS them both very much!
But I know they are very close to my heart and in Faith we are forever united.

Oh sweet friend, tears came out of my eyes reading this beautiful and sentimental post about your dearests 'both' joining in heaven and yes, I know they are together!
ReplyDeleteYou know... while reading I was thinking that I hope I'm lucky to have a great conversation with my mom on her last days, or be close to her, as it does happen sometimes people don't get a chance even when they're close and you my friend, were so very fortunate and gifted for ever to cherish, as you say.
Thank you for sharing.
Thinking of you.

ReplyDeleteCariños
Lieve Mariette,
ReplyDeleteAlle triestigheid gaat op den duur toch over in een zoete herinnering.
Telkens weer opnieuw zullen we sterk moeten zijn wanneer we een geliefde persoon verliezen om daar te geraken in die zoete herinneringen waar de scherpe kanten aan verdriet en gemis draaglijk worden.
Liefs,Ger

Ja de herinnering blijft op den duur en het is goed die te koesteren.
ReplyDeleteOh how we cherish the last communication we had with loved ones. I too talked to my Mom by phone. She was in the hospital and I told her I would be there In two days to be with her. She was so reassuring that she was fine.....but died the next day.
ReplyDeleteCara Mariette, se non ho capito male, oltre a tua madre, hai perduto una sorella. Mi dispiace, non sai quanto mi dispiace. Ricordo perfettamente il momento che hai comunicato della perdita di tua madre. Ti sono vicina, tanto tanto vicina. Con infinito affetto. Paola
ReplyDeleteCara Paola,
DeleteSpiacente ma mia sorella ancora nacque, lei sarebbe stata sessanta sei il 11 Gennaio. Era il tempo prima che anche nostra Mamma è con lei in cielo. Io chiamai Mamma nel 65 compleanno di Ángel di mia sorella e quell'era gli ultimi trenta minuti che io ho parlato da solo mai con mia Mamma... Quindi mi fece molto malinconico in questo giorno. Lei capisce...
Un abbraccio grande,
Mariette
Dear Mariette,
ReplyDeleteThinking of you and wishing you strength and lots of happy memories of your aunt and sister.
Sending a big hug.
Madelief x
Dearest Madelief,
DeleteYes, I do also have happy memories of my aunt(s)... but this was about my Mom and still born sister.
Hugs,
Mariette
Dearest Mariette, what a lovely tribute to your sweet mother and dear angel sister!!
ReplyDeleteHow time passes so quickly! It is already one year since your mother left and also six months since my mom passed away!! I am just preparing a dish of home-made koliva ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koliva) for her tomorrow's memorial service!
Many hugs to you!
Beautiful, poignant post about mom and sister. In your heart always will be.
