You've ...This is such a beautiful post, Nonnie. You've brought tears to my eyes. <br /><br />I am sorry that you weren't able to be there with your mama. I wasn't able to be with my daddy when he passed away either. He died alone at home. :( <br /><br />I am so glad that your aunt was able to be there and spend this time with your mama. I know it must have meant so much for both of them. <br /><br />I have only been with one person for their transition from this life to their new Heavenly home. I was with my maternal grandpa. I had our oldest daughter, then almost 2 years old, with me. My aunt had just left the room. The hospice worker was trying to help him breathe. I won't go any further with the description, but it was horrible. In all of its sadness and scariness, however, there was a beautiful moment. My baby girl, too little to be blinded to the reality of Heavenly Father, too little to comprehend death...waved bye to him and said "bye-bye, Papa". The look on her face, the direction of her wave...I know she saw Who came for him and it was a beautiful moment.<br /><br />This is a beautiful tribute to your mama. It is obvious that she was a well-loved and loving lady as is your Aunt Gerry. {{{Hugs}}}<br /><br />Have a blessed day.Suzanne McClendonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15563562309945754772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1762976639674158813.post-14469072571334173162016-09-01T11:46:56.031-05:002016-09-01T11:46:56.031-05:00What a wonderful tribute to your mom.

To be loved so much all of her life says everything about what a dear person she was. The birthday gift in her earlier years with photos and the lovely poem was so sweet.<br /><br />I am late with my visit this week but I am so happy I found time to see this post. I too have 'faith' that there will be a great reunion one day with our loved ones that have passed.<br />Blessings to you and yours.<br />JeanneJeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02496069719875179788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1762976639674158813.post-88357093152668421082016-09-01T06:46:40.474-05:002016-09-01T06:46:40.474-05:00I too was blessed to be at my mother's side wh...I too was blessed to be at my mother's side when Our Lord called her home along with my two sisters, one brother and other members of the family. Her passing was peaceful and the ending of suffering from colon cancer. Mom passed on December 21st 2004 and I think of her and miss her every day but knowing I will see her again when I'm called home makes me happy and blessed.

But more grateful is the knowing that she no longer struggles and suffers and is there now in a perfect body rejoicing and waiting for us all to eventually join her. Such a good analogy about a birth here and the rejoicing that goes on, and how heaven rejoices when we enter there too. My heart still aches for my mom. How much I'd love to talk to her some days. But the KNOWING I will see her again, talk to her again, laugh with her again, really brings such comfort and peace. How blessed we are to know that.

The poem is so beautiful. I was not with my mom when she passed and since it happened at night, in her sleep, she was alone (except for her Angels) and I'm always sorry that one of us wasn't there with her. I was blessed to be with my dad and with Joe's mom. I love that you could see the similarities between the baby going home and a loved one at the end of his life going home to be with Christ. We are so blessed with that promise!Terri Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15333024343069943295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1762976639674158813.post-53104236872534529952016-08-30T12:36:14.681-05:002016-08-30T12:36:14.681-05:00Beautiful.

It is comforting to know that they are no longer in pain.

It is sad for us no longer to have them with us but so exciting to know they are no longer in pain here on earth. You brought back memories of when my Mother passed on to her Heavenly home, I was blessed to be by her side when she left this world. I love how you descripted it with the woman holding the baby.
