One of our The Legacy Project volunteers wrote this a while back in honor of her mom. It's the perfect day to share it. https://thisishowwelivenow.blogspot.com/2017/06/happy-birthday-mama.html?m=1

Wishing all moms out there the happiest Mother’s Day❤️
For those of us who have lost our Mother’s, this day can seem quite sad rather than celebratory as it is a day that reminds us of our greatest loss. Know that you are not alone🙏🏻 that there are many of us walking around right beside you feeling the same way❤️
A Poem for you ...
“Miss me but let me go”
Author Unknown:
When I come to the end of the day and the sun has set for me.
I want no rites in a gloom filled room.
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little, but not too long.
And not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love we once shared,
Miss me but let me go.
For this is a journey we all must take, and each must go alone.
It’s all a part of the Makers plan, a step on the road to home.
When you are lonely or sick at heart...
Go to the friends we know.
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds- Miss me but let me go. #thekindnessrocksproject ... See more
