9 months exactly (and the first time I will express this only in months without weeks)
Wintersong
The lake is frozen over
The trees are white with snow
And all around
Reminders of you
Are everywhere I go
It’s late and morning’s in no hurry
But sleep won’t set me free
I lie awake and try to recall
How your body felt beside me
When silence gets too hard to handle
And the night too long
And this is how I see you
In the snow on Christmas morning
Love and happiness surround you
As you throw your arms up to the sky
I keep this moment by and by
Oh I miss you now, my love
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas,
Merry Christmas, my love
Sense of joy fills the air
And I daydream and I stare
Up at the tree and I see
Your star up there
And this is how I see you
In the snow on Christmas morning
Love and happiness surround you
As you throw your arms up to the sky
I keep this moment by and by
– Sarah McLachlan
I miss you, my love.
Hi. I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my mom to pancreatic cancer 4 years ago. This post caught my eye because there’s a Sarah McLachlan song that reminds me of my mom. It’s called “Do What You Have To Do”. For some reason these words always remind me of my mom:
The yearning to be near you
I do what I have to do
But I have the sense to recognize
That I don’t know how
To let you go
I miss my mom deeply and wish she were still here with us. Thank you for sharing. I wish you all the best.
