Losing yourself vs. losing a loved one
My friend let his mom go
I lost a women I called mother
He cared for her for decades
We held her tight as she slipped away
I thought losing a girlfriend or boyfriend was intolerable
My friends pain must be crippling
She taught me to smile
She taught him to be a gentleman
We loved her as a mom
As someone to shelter us
Now we have each other
As the angel looks down upon us
Our mom she will always be
