"Father-God, It is New Year's Eve again. It has been four years since Mommy died but I still miss her so much."
"God, why did she have to die on the one holiday I used to celebrate?"
"I don't know what to do this year. I just know I will likely never celebrate New Year's Eve again as long as I live. For me, it will always be the anniversary of the day my mother died."
"God, What can I do this year to help me cope with the lingering feelings of grief?"
"What can I do?"
"You remember, the first year after her death I visited her grave back in Wellsville."
"The second year, I stayed up all night making five slow-cookers full of corned beef and cabbage—one of each of my kids' families."
"Right now, I can't remember what I did last year."
"I think I was at Matthew's, wasn't I?"
"I know I didn't get together with family but I think my camper was parked on his property."
"What can I do this year?"
"Move into the dilapidated house you bought"
"I could do that. I could buy something to sleep on and a table."
"I have those jigsaw puzzles Glenda gave me. Mommy and I used to work jigsaw puzzles all the time."
"And I have her poetry books—the ones we used to read together. I could read poetry and remember all the times she and I read poems together."
"I remember..."
"I re..."
"ring—ring—ring"
"Uh, Uh, Hello?"
"I love you, ruwthy."
"Mommy, Mommy, Is that you?"
"ruwthy..."
"Oh, Mommy!! I miss you so much!! I love you, too!!"
"I dream about seeing you again when I get to heaven."
"I love you, my darling girl..."
"Mommy—oh, Mommy, I love you so!!"
"Is this really happening? Am I dreaming? I don't care if I am, I am so glad to hear your voice even if it is a dream, I love you!"

My Children...
My children are grown,
With kids of their own.
My children...
Dear to my heart,
Though we now live apart.
My children...
I remember each birth
and their days on this earth.
My children...
Five lives intersecting
and sometimes connecting.
My children...
There is no one alive
That means more than these five.
My children...
