Memory of Mom: Sharing a Daughter’s Birth

Written by Maelyn Lessard on April 15, 2011

My best memory that I share with my Mom is when I gave birth to my daughter.

I called when I was in labor but I went fast.

I was living in North Carolina and she was in Melbourne, Florida.

She drove all night and arrived at 7a.m.

I was sitting in bed holding my new baby girl and she walked in crying.

I cry thinking of the moment we all held each other for the first time.

It is a moment you cannot describe because it was filled with so much love and emotion.

We have since moved to Melbourne and have shared many things, but that moment is truly just ours.

Thank You for Understanding Me, Dad!

Written by Teresa Turner on April 13, 2011

I lost my father almost two years ago to vascular dementia, and this was hard to write.

But if I had five more minutes to spend with him, I would have gone over remembrances of fond events and our special conversations.

Told him of how happy I was to have known him and how much I respected his kindness towards others. He had no enemies.

How thankful I was for his non-judgmental feelings towards me and how I appreciated his belief in me.

That he kept the family neutral since my mother and brother were opposite towards me.

One of his brothers drowned in front of him when he was a child and he lost half of his family by the time he was 25. How brave he was to go through those hard times and keep a smile on his face.

When I was a child, he would sit at my bedside, play guitar and sing me songs. How I miss his voice.

He was truly the only one that understood me. How I feel alone without him.

Just to say how we love each other and that last hug would be music to my ears.

A Five-Minute Manicure and Pedicure

Written by Mary Riddle Bailey on April 11, 2011

If I had five more minutes with my Mom, I would I would give her a five-minute manicure and pedicure.

My mother had beautiful nails, but never had a mani or pedi.

I mentioned that I would love to take her and get one done, but she died before I could do it.

Everytime I have one, I think how much my mother would have loved to do that.

That is the one thing I wish I could do that I didn’t do while she was here.

While she was doing that I would tell her all about my grandchildren she didn’t get to see.
