I NEVER GOT THE CHANCE TO SAY GOODBYE..

Wish I could go back to the day when angels came and took you away.

I wanted to hold your hand so tight, kiss you gently and say goodnight.

And then just before you had to go, I would tell you how much I love you so.

I didn't know how, I don't know why, I never got the chance to say goodbye.

By John F Connor

Mom ~ I did not write this, but when I read it, it was as if I did ~ these are my exact feelings about losing you…

"I sit here thinking about the last time I saw your smiling face.

I try to picture your expression, hear your voice and think back to our conversation.

Tears stream down my face as the images of you flash through my mind…memories of you overwhelm my emotions in those moments.

I'm caught in that place between disbelief and sadness and my heart hurts in a way that I don't know that I've ever felt.

I look at my phone and read your last words to me and I wipe away the tears.

I wish I tried to see you more, call you more, tell you that I loved you more.

I fight back the feelings of guilt as I think about the past..and you.

I can't believe that I can't call you and hear your voice. I can't believe your happy smile won't greet me anymore when I come to visit.

Part of me won't believe that you're gone, that I'll never be able to hug you again, hear you laugh or spend time with you again.

It's a hard thing when someone you love dearly is gone. I don't know that I'll be able to make peace with it for a while, but that's part of the process, I guess.

Maybe I'll never know why some are gone too soon and that's okay.

The best thing I can do is live my life in a way that would make you proud and honor your legacy. To let love be part of who I am.

Still, it hurts knowing that I'll never hug you, hold your hand or see your smile again.

One day, dear one, we will meet again.

And next time, I'm never letting you go.

See you then.

Know that you're in my heart, always."

One of the brightest lights in my life left me forever on Friday, December 17, 2021 at 9:12 p.m.

My dearest Mom, Rose Frances Simonetti-Palumbo, went home to Jesus and her beloved, husband of 60 years, my treasured Dad, Donald Palumbo.

Today, he died six years ago on December 18, 2015. The reunion in Heaven must have been glorious.

It was sudden and all unfolded this Friday, at 3:50 p.m. She was pronounced dead at 9:12 p.m. in a hospital in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. She died of an aortic dissection.

She was my Mom ~ Rose Frances Simonetti-Palumbo. I loved her with all my heart and soul...

♥༺✿ڰۣڿ✿༻ ༺✿ڰۣڿ✿༻ ༺✿ڰۣڿ✿༻♥

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

On the day she died, Mom awoke going about her daily routine. She didn't know she was going to die that day.

As she did every morning, she walked over to her day-by-day inspirational calendar, which she kept on her kitchen counter by the toaster oven.

The page on the calendar was turned to Thursday, December 16, 2021. Mom tore that page off to reveal Friday, December 17, 2021 ~ the day she would die in less than 12 hours.

The inspirational quote on that colorful page was by Charles Ormond Eames Jr. an American designer, architect and filmmaker.

The saying was: "Eventually Everything Connects."

So in that spirit, I share the following verse which reminded me of that last inspirational quote which Mom read on the last morning of her well lived life:

"Someday, everything will make sense. So for now, laugh at the confusion, smile through the tears and keep reminding yourself that everything happens for a reason."

The Day She Dies ~ By Chelsea Ohlemeyer

The day she dies a piece of you will die too. You'll learn this is a piece that you cannot fill. It is a piece that cannot be replaced by anything, ever.

The day she dies you'll stop breathing for a moment too. You'll wonder how the world around you continues to go on.

The day she dies you'll start a new life. Your new life will be motherless. It will be different than before, in the most painful and heartbreaking way.

The day she dies you will look around and question everything. You'll question your faith, your last words, and every moment you spent away from her. Your questions will never be answered, but keep asking anyway.

The day she dies you'll be in complete disbelief. You will refuse to accept this reality but it will stay with you. One day the debilitating reality will sink in. This day is just as bad as the day she dies.

The day she dies you will be frozen with heartbreak, confusion and terror. You will develop new anxieties and fears you never had before. Some days these new fears will be debilitating.

The day she dies, you become an adult. The kind of adult that doesn't have a mother. That is a different kind of adult than before, trust me.

The day she dies you will long for her hug, her kiss, her time and her presence. This longing never goes away.

It stays with you, but so does she, because…

The day she dies you gain the most beautiful angel. You can't see her, but she is there, just as she promised.

The day she dies you will look around and be grateful for all of the people there supporting you and helping you pick up the pieces. The people that show up are your people. Never forget the ones that showed up, they are special.

The day she dies you'll learn that you loved so hard, so deeply, so purely, that you will now grieve hard because of that beautiful love.

The day she dies you'll learn that she loved you beyond measure. She mothered you more beautifully than any Hallmark movie. She believed in you more than you've ever believed in yourself. You'll realize that she took care of you like you were the most precious cargo on the planet, even as an adult.

The day she dies you'll realize, without hesitation, that she was the most amazing woman you've ever known and will ever know.

The day she dies you'll appreciate her more than you ever have, and you'll pray to have her back. Unfortunately, no prayers can bring her back. No wishes can make her appear.

So when she dies, remember her smile, remember her love, and remember her life.

Never forget her and everything that she was because the day she dies, you become her legacy.

"Our lives are made up of so many people and when people become parts of our lives, some parts remain long after they leave. And in the same exact way, it is comforting to know there are still so many lives you're still a part of that you have no idea about." Unknown ~ 10.19.2020
