Sometimes I dream that Mom is still alive.
I wanted her to get better but she didn't survive.
When I learned that she was going to die, it made me mad.
Some of my dreams about Mom are good but some are bad.
In some of my dreams, Mom and I have verbal fights.
When she was alive, we were very close, we were tight.
When she died, the world ended or at least that was how it seemed.
I no longer have Mom in real life but I still have her in my dreams.

[Dedicated to Agnes Johnson (1948-2013) who passed away on March 6, 2013.]

Some redundancies. That aside, I feel the painstaking grief ripping off the page. crying

She's in a better place, yeah? :( As one who knows grief firsthand, it's good to retain the memories, not to suppress them. She will be in the hearts of those she once had in her life. Be fulfilled, be strong.

Sweet dreams, survivor...
