In loving memory of our beloved mom and grandma, Shirley Hilliard, who passed away two years ago today.

I lost part of myself on the day I lost you

I cannot seem to find the life I had before you were gone.

Before hopelessness conquered my mind.

People tell me it will get better and perhaps in time it will

But right now, I’m simply existing.

Numbly trying to feel

Wishing for a light to guide me through the dark

Some method or means to cope

I miss you terribly and try to understand why God took you Mom,

Back to his heavenly home

I’m sad I lost the chance to hug you and express all that you meant to me.

Mom you will never be forgotten.

God has you in His keeping

I have you in my heart.
