January 04 In memory of my SisterIt is coming up on the 1 year anniversary of my sister's death. Sigh... This is harder than I thought it was going to be. Boy, do I miss her.
Memories of You
Your smiling eyes & beautiful face
that once filled our lives with love,
your joyful laughter & gentle touch
that once filled our lives with happiness,
are now only memories that live
within our grieving hearts.
With every breath we take,
we will love you
and we will miss you
till the end of our days,
when we will meet again.
Roberta
June 21 In dreams and memoriesA memory so sweet Of a smell so reminiscent And a warmth so deep And encompassing It touches my soul.
Like a soft sigh On a gentle wind I still hear you
Smell you
Feel you.
In my dreams I still hold you
Whisper to you
Know you.
Forever.
May 25 I will be who I amWhy do we spend so much of our lives worry about what other people think of us and trying to live up to some standard that is not our own? I wrote the following words to all the people in the world who want to change me or someone else. I will not
I will not live up to your standards I will not lose ten pounds I will not hide my emotions I will not cater to yours I will not pretend to like wine I will not pretend that I don’t like “Friends” I will not act like an adult. I will not wear makeup everyday I will not wear more dresses I will not hide my tears I will not hide my fears I will not pretend to like you I will not ignore my own needs I will not be practical I will not be jaded I will not hold others down I will not strive for perfection
I will
I will love myself I will laugh when life is funny I will cry if I am sad I will get angry I will love passionately I will drink lemonade I will read Stephen King I will sing in my car I will act silly I will dance in my living room I will play with my children I will be an honest friend I will lift others up I will be kind I will set my own standards I will make mistakes I will dream
Learn to love yourself friends. May 24 If...If you only see my faults You will never see how much I have grown…
If you only remember the pain I have caused you Then you will never remember the joy I have brought you…
If you only envision one path for me Then you cannot imagine my potential…
If you judge me by my mistakes You will never rejoice in my accomplishments…
If you wait for me to fail You will never celebrate my victories…
If you are looking down on me You will never lift me up…
If you stare at me with contempt You eyes will never reflect my beauty…
If you gaze at me with openness You will see what is real…
If you turn to me with love You will soar…

Mothers and daughters, each soul entwined. Deceptions and secrets separate them. Love and loyalty bind them together. History and heritage bend and sway in lonely arrangements. Echoes of the past drift into the future on sighs and whispers. Each heart searches what went before and reaches for what will come. Mothers and daughters yearning for understanding. Three women, each one strand of the braid that binds them together. - Roberta - 2005
