My Mom never had an easy life. She was born with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. She had a heart of gold but her mind never got past her early teens. In later years, she was diagnosed with a heart condition. I always thought she would die from a heart attack, or should I say another heart attack. But, instead, I lost my Mom to lung/liver cancer on March 20, 2002. She gave it a good fight, but it claimed her life eleven months after being diagnosed.


I'd like the memory of me
to be a happy one.
I'd like to leave an afterglow
of smiles when life is done.

I'd like to leave an echo whispering
softly down the ways.
Of happy times and laughing times
and bright and sunny days.

I'd like the tears of those who grieve
to dry before the sun.
Of happy memories that I leave
when life is finally done.
