Miss you Mom

free verse, memoir, Tournesol dans un jardin 1 Minute 
 
 
7 years passed
missing her each day
like it was just
yesterday
 
miss her scent
rich and heavy
animated laughter
flirtatious smile
uttering  her sweet “darling”
with a British accent
 
7 years has passed
miss her like
it was yesterday
 
Love you Mom
now and forever
a timex love affair
keeps on ticking.

A little bit about moi: I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator. I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors. Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka. I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other. http://stigmahursteveryone.wordpress.com

  1. I also miss ” Ma tante Colombe” . Beautiful poem.. . I remember her cheerfulness and humor.. She also looks like her sister, my mom Patricia , who was also a ball of fun!
    Maman , je ne t’oublierai jamais! ! And sometimes out of nostalgia , I make your recipes, of tourtière or cretons so I could once again smell the aromas in her kitchen ..sending love cousin ❤️❤️

    1. Thank you so much for your kind words , Louise. I make Grandmaman’s turkey dressing every Christmas and Thanksgiving remembering her kitchen and Moms scallop potatoes.

      I know it’s the last day today but Happy Hannaka. Sending you much love and virtual hugs. 💕
