Tell me, what does it look like in heaven?
Is it peaceful? Is it free like they say?
Does the sun shine bright forever?
Have your fears and your pain gone away?
'Cause here on Earth it feels like everything
Good is missing since you left
And here on Earth, everything's different
There's an emptiness
Oh-oh, I
I hope you're dancing in the sky
And I hope you're singing in the angel's choir
And I hope the angels know what they have
I'll bet it's so nice up in Heaven since you arrived
So tell me, what do you do up in Heaven?
Are your days filled with love and light?
Is there music? Is there art and adventure?
Tell me are you happy? Are you more alive?
'Cause here on Earth it feels like everything
Good is missing since you left
And here on Earth everything's different
There's an emptiness
Oh-oh, I
I hope you're dancing in the sky
And I hope you're singing in the angel's choir
And I hope the angels know what they have
I'll bet it's so nice up in Heaven since you arrived
Since you arrived
Oh, oh
(What does it look like in heaven?) Yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh, I
I hope you're dancing in the sky
And I hope you're singing in the angel's choir
And I hope the angels know what they have
I'll bet it's so nice up in Heaven since you arrived
Since you arrived

Hi mom. Well here we are just a few weeks til Christmas. Didn't think I'd make it through thanksgiving but there I was. Morning was tough. I kept waiting for you to call and ask what you could do. I peeled 5 pounds of potatoes in your honor. I was in Maine last week for my annual shopping trip. Not really in the mood but it's what has to be done. I trudged through the snow to the cemetery. Placed my warm hands on your ice covered stone in hopes that you could feel me. I stood there asking for a sign. Just something but instead stood there in the silence of my falling tears. I looked at a few houses while there. I used to feel closer to you and dad when there but don't really now. I'm just a lost soul trying to find my way. I had every intention of visiting with aunt Helen but just couldn't bring myself to it. I guess it was because I just knew I'd cry and it's easier for me to do that in my own space. It was nice to rest whatever that is. I had my daily 2 hr nap but probably because I am awake most of the night. My mind never stops. It's constantly working overtime in more ways than not. There will be a very special gift in the winds on the way to heaven in the next few weeks. If you peak between the clouds you will see my love flying heaven bound. I love you mom. Miss you more than you know. Hugs n kisses to dad for me. ??????

Hi mom. Here we are on the eve of your birthday and I wanted to be the first to wish you happy birthday. It's been almost 6 months mom and it feels like yesterday. The weather sure has gotten colder. Yes the pellet stove is now going every day. As soon as my tired butt gets home I'm in my nightgown n sometimes volunteer to take out the dog just for cold air. New York buffalo area is getting about 6' of snow tonight. You know how much I wish that were me. Tash and Michael just got bk from New Hampshire as his cousin passed away a lil over a week ago. It was uncle lloyds son. He was only in his 50s. Much to young. One of the girls I work with already gave me a "thinking of you card" for tomorrow. I have talked a lot about you to her and actually cried with her a few weeks ago. Everytime I think there are no more tears more come. Know that not a day goes by that I don't think about you or miss you. So enjoy your day mom. Know I'm celebrating your life n birthday for you today. XO. Love you. ??????

Hi mom. Yes I know it's been awhile. Your birthday is rapidly approaching and my mind has been consumed with thoughts n memories. It's gotten cooler outside but guess I have to expect that now. We have finally got our pellets n Ryder is already cooking me outta the house. I'm looking forward to the sub zero temperature which justify it being 85 degrees in my living room. There is a beautiful snow covering on mt Washington from photos I've seen. I'll be there in a few weeks for the annual shopping trip. First I have to get thru thanksgiving. And yes mom we will be having turkey. I'm not sure how I'm going to accomplish the dinner without you here. I just might have to have an extra place setting at the table for you and dad. The kids n I have had long conversations about whether to do the holidays without you but I know what you would be saying about that. I am on the fence as to whether to just have something little or make it completely over the top just for you!!! I saw Christmas trees already at Paul n Sandys this weekend. Gosh much too soon. ER n Tash have been quite busy making gingerbread houses. They are quite creative if I say so myself. I am planning another awesome trip with them this year. Thinking about Nashville but not sure yet. Where ever we go will be awesome I'm sure. Tash has not even gotten over vegas yet n I'm sure she would be just fine going back there but I want her to experience another part of the country. Garth brooks is coming out of retirement mom. He has a new song called Mom which brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to it. Not unlike many days when I'm driving to work n find my mind wandering to thoughts of you and I just start to cry. So much to tell you. So much to share. I hope you are reading all the things my heart is saying. I miss you so much my heart hurts. Love you mom!!!!

September 24, 2014

Hi mom. You can yell at me cause I haven't been here in a while. I can hear you now. Please don't think my absence means that I haven't thought bout you cause you are the center of most thoughts. We spent the day at Haddam neck fair in tradition of what we have always done. And in a few days I'll be heading to maine. To see you and to go to the big Fryeburg Fair. Life has been crazy as always mom and gosh I really need you here to help me through. I saw bob a few weeks ago and mom he's doing so well. I can't tell you how proud I am of him n know you n dad are too. We closed the pool this past weekend and that means that long cold winter is on its way. Along with that all the sadness of the seasons. I had barely gotten over not having dad here n now I gotta do these damn holidays without you. Guess I now know why I haven't been here because as I write this im sitting here with tears rolling down my face. It feels like yesterday mom I held ur hand and said goodbye. Life has not been easy for sure and I have tried to be strong. There are so many days I just want that hug or hear your voice say "Bren". I still have so many secrets to share with you. Stories that only you and I share. So I guess I must resign to just leaving them here for you. I love you mom. Please tell dad too. Give him a huge kiss and know how very much I miss you. XOXO!!!!

Hi Mom. We it's back to work tomorrow after my weeks vacation. It was a tough trip hard to come home. I had a phone call from a friend today who lost her mom a year ago and called to say how very sorry she was and knew exactly what I was feeling and put it perfectly that it just "plain sucks". She is so right. I told her that Michael said he missed the real me. I told him I don't know how to fix me. That I'm just forever changed. Life is just going by and I have no interest. I'm just going through the motion n existing. I know you would hate that. Joann told me I needed to become spiritual that it would help me feel closer to you. That there is definitely a life after death and that you are safe n happy. Free from pain. I pray for that everyday although don't know what it is im praying too. I look at your things and try to sort through things n put them away but I just don't want to move them. To disturb them. I know mom I agree I'm going crazy. This is where it's easy. I write my thoughts, feelings and somehow feel that you hear or are reading them too. I have surrounded myself with dragon flies. I have quite the assortment right now as they seem to b a symbol of you and dad. They are mystical, magical and have even been told they are gd luck. I see them everywhere and think they must be a sign. Bob told tash if she looked hard she would see you are still here with us. Being here in spirit isn't the same as sitting and talking with you. You were always my cheerleader, my confidant, my hero, my best friend, but more than that my mom. I truly am forever changed without you. Forever in my heart mom. Love u forever

Hi mom. Well it's almost 1 week til my birthday. Who's gonna make me your special pineapple cake that I loved so much. Hard to believe it's been almost 3 months. Still feels like yesterday. Having such a hard time n really not liking it much. Some days I feel as life is just passing me by and I'm standing on the outside watching. I know I'm selfish but feel so robbed. You always had that crazy way of somehow making it alright. How was that??? I'm leaving for Maine on Saturday...Michael thought it might help. I asked why as your not there. To be honest don't really know what can help. Everyone says time. That's a lie. Time does nothing. They say remember the gd times. Well as for those we have many!!! But it always comes back to that last day. I so wish I could turn back the clock but you and I both know that ain't happening. As Erin so graciously put it gotta find the "happy place" wherever that may be. I'm sitting in the parking lot at work. Really wishing for Friday. Or better yet that I weren't here!!! I keep threatening to be that Walmart greeter and it may be coming sooner than anyone realizes in my state of mind I might just leave one day and drop the keys on the desk never to return. I've spent my entire nursing career wishing I were doing something else. Never really found my niche. I thought hospice did that for me and damn I was good at what I did for my patients and families. Lol if I could just take some of my own advice that I gave them along their difficult journey. Easier when your not in the middle of the conversation I guess. Ok mom I have rambled on more than enough this morning. Know I love you and miss you more than words!! Forever in my heart. ????

Grams
Today was a horrible day! I wish you were here an I could tell you all about it! I was mailing a patient something today and noticed something that broke my heart. The address was your old address! I just wanted to cry. How dare someone live there when it was yours! I'm soo bitter and depressed. I'm worried about mom. She misses you so much! Tash too! I just want to talk to you!:( I love you very much! Give gramps a big kiss for me and tell him I love him too! Miss you both!

July 22, 2014

Good-morning Ma, First i want to thank you for everything you did for me or tried to do for me, you were a good mom! I miss you dearly, sometimes i even call your phone number just to see if you will answer it one more time, but it just tells me "this number is no longer in service" I miss our hour long phone calls. I still have your number in my phone and probably will forever looking for it to pop up on my caller id. Guess i would freak out some if it did huh. Little d is forever looking for a new job he really hates its where he is at and i don't blame him as he still has not gotten a raise and was told that he doesn't do enough to get a raise, life can be cruel at times and i told him to hang in there he will find something i know he is tired of hearing that from me. Brittany is working her butt off at the farm she got high honors in her freshman year at Lyman Hall, she has already started to look at colleges, she wants to go to one either out west or down south, she doesn't want to stay in Ct after high school, and me and her talk about moving all the time when she gets out of high school. She wants a farm one day so moving out west would be the best thing and they have awesome horse colleges out there. Hopefully all her dreams come true. Im very proud of both my children Ma, I think they have grown-up to be pretty awesome young people, and i think you would think the same. I have been canning up a storm, all kinds of pickles, and relishes, im gong to try to make picklily mustard tomorrow, we will see how it turns out I use to love it when you made it. My garden did real good this year, i will be making lots of pumpkin pies and zucchini bread for the holidays, and sauce as the tomatoes are coming everyday. I even have brittany making cakes from scratch! She made me a wonderful birthday cake an she made it from start to finish with no box mixes, her girlfriend is always asking her why we don't have box cakes and brownies and she tells her that's just my Mom she makes everything from scratch. lol I have even canned my own bbq! I wished that i had some of your recipes but i do pretty good myself still trying to perfect your filled cookies i will get it one day i have faith! God i miss you Ma! I got somethings of yours from Bobby, the old table and chairs that you had at the farm is in my basement i sit there and do laundry and think of all the good times we had around that table and cry alot. I have the swing that Doris said she got for you and dad hanging in my dining room i attached a picture of it for you, I'm glad i saved your things from going to the dump i didn't want to see them there and they do put a smile on my face when i look at them. Even if i didn't get to see you as often as i would have liked you always had a special place in my heart and i would have never wanted to have anyone but YOU for my Mama, Love you forever and always.

Hey there mom. Back from Vegas. I'm pretty sure the kids had an awesome time!! Started my new job on Monday. Can't say it's been easy. I'm still feeling lost like I'm not fitting in. Your car sold on Tuesday and I cried when Doris text to tell me. Just one more piece of you gone mom. I so miss you. I miss your calls "hey Bren it's ma just wanted to talk". My days at work are long. I leave before 6am and get home at 5pm. Before I know it it's time for bed. We have been having some wicked thunder storms. It's been so hot. Great mustang with the top down weather. Well mom time for me to crawl in bed. Love you and miss you more than you know. Xoxo.

July 7, 2014

I think about you daily! God do I miss you! Sorry I haven't been here for a while! Me ma and Tasha had quite an adventure in Vegas! Grams the view were majestic; breath taking even! But the view from heaven I bet is even more spectacular. You know when you passed, whenever someone I love passes it makes me question my faith. Is there really a heaven does god exist? I hope so! I have to believe that you are in a better place full of love, beauty, and of course with gramps! Your car was bought today and when mom got the text she cried a little and said it was one more peice of you that's gone, but I reminded her that it's not the things that matter but the lifetime of memories that you left behind! Those memories can never be lost or taken away from any of us! We reminisced about you at dinner, we had chicken ceaser salad and all I could do was laugh. Thinking of the story at portland restaurant, how your salad didn't have any chicken on it. Or better yet when you were walking into the store people watching so much so you walked into a cement wall! All those stories are priceless what brings smiles to my face and moms when she tells them! I will be up too see you soon I miss and love you very much! Xoxo

Hi mom. I've spent the day today packing for our trip. Yeap we leave for Vegas tomorrow. I wish I could be as excited about this trip as I should be. God I miss you mom. Really not sure how I'm supposed to do all this without you. It's been 4 weeks since you left and it feels like yesterday. I remain so lost. Tears continue to come and I don't know how to stop them. Stupid conversations and they just come. I try to be the strong one but it's so hard. I feel all these things and still again just feel sadness. I know you wouldn't be happy about how I'm dealing with this but I don't like the thought of having to do this without you. I'm leaving for Vegas and I can't share that excitement with you. I won't be able to share those crazy stories with you. Forever in my heart mom. Forever!! Love u more than you can possibly know.

Bren

June 15, 2014

Hi mom. Well it's dads day today and I don't have you or dad here with me. A lot has happened in the three weeks since you left us. Tash, Er, and I are coping as well as we can. I've decided I can't be a hospice nurse any longer. It's too hard mom. I wish I could say that I could but I just can't. I miss you so much. I think of you every day and hope you are happy n with dad. That brings me a small amount of peace. In a week I leave for Vegas and the worst part is when I get home I won't be able to share it all with you. That's the worst part mom. There are so many things I want to tell you but now no longer have the chance. Everyone tells me you already know. I hope they are right. I love you!!! Forever Mom!! Give dad a huge hug n kiss for me. XO

Grams so yesterday was pretty tough at your funeral! I miss you more then you know. It was a beautiful day and you had many people there that missed you and shared great memories of you. I have some pretty wonderful memories of my own that I will cherish forever and always! Like when you would give us baths and scrub between our toes like we had years of built up dirt! And all the times you yelled at tash for trying to kill me in the brook, the race me and tash had that ended up with barb wire across my back but nothing some iodine wouldn't fix! Your solution to all!;) sledding down the hill! You and gramps were the best grandparents me and tash could have asked for! And you brought up some pretty awesome kids of your own! I have to believe you and gramps are finally together, pain free and in complete bliss! I miss you and love you both with all my heart! I will remember you through all our wonderful memories! Love you xo rip

What Can You Say

What can you say
to someone who has always been one of
the most essential parts of your world;
Someone who took you by the hand
when you were little
and helped to show the way.

What do you say to someone
who stood by to help you grow,
providing love, strength, and support
so you could become the person
you are today?

What can you say to let her know
that she's the best there is,
and that you hope you've inherited
some of her wisdom and her strength?

What words would you say
if you ever got the chance?
Maybe you'd just say,
I love you Grandmom,
and hope she understands…
~ Author Unknown ~
I love you lots!

Hi mom. Yesterday had to be the second worst day in my entire life. I know that is extremely selfish of me. You would have been proud of everyone. You had quite a turn out mom. Bob n I were in charge of the food. You know what that means. We had more than needed but like you I never want anyone to say they leave hungry. The cemetary was hard to say the least and if one more person tells me it's not supposed to be easy I think I would hit them. Aunt Bev was there. She looked beautiful as ever. She spoke about you as did Uncle Harry and Steven. Tash was the star as not only did she read her poem to you she also read mine. Those girls of mine are wise beyond their years mom. They have been my rock and my support system. Everyone told me to be strong for them but they were the ones strong for me. I know how proud u are of them. I of course occupied my time last week with the things I know. I made obit cards like I made for dad, I made pink cancer ribbons for all to wear and a slide show video of you and dad n all the memories. I know you were proud. Bob stayed with the girls n I in North Conway and he and I spent a lot of time together. I don't know what I would have done without his strength yesterday. He kept telling me it was going to be ok. I know you were there mom as Wendy saw the two dragonflies during the service and I remember the one flying around the day we buried dad. I really don't know how to go on. I'm so lost. How do you live without a parent, your coach, mentor, cheerleader and your very best friend. I'm not sure I can even think about doing hospice care again. It would just be much too hard to watch another person die. My heart is so broken, but again I take comfort knowing you are with dad. Know you will live in my heart forever. ????

Mom. Well you taught me an important lesson yesterday. "Slow down". When I was told that your ashes were ready but your urn was not in I thought yeap only mom. Then I thought she's still in control. We visited all your places yesterday. We stopped at the farm, drove the circle at oak grove, took you to highland park and oh yes Erin has a great "pee in the woods" story for you. I know you sent that car to catch her because we all needed to laugh. My heart is so heavy today. You and dad always taught me it's never goodbye...only so long. Right now I'm not even liking those words so much. The weather is not looking so great the next few days so I'm really counting on you and dad to make sure there is a little bit of sunshine, but then again maybe our tears should just blend in with the rain. I want to tell you that I'm strong and that I can do this but I gotta say I'm not sure I can. Everyone tries to help but they can't. Or maybe I should say I don't know what it is they can do. I'm surrounded by people but all I really want is another minute with you. Selfish...your damn right. I love ya mom!!!

Erin Ryder

May 28, 2014

So were headed up to see you, or I should say to say goodbye! Were waiting on you grams lol. Ur urns on fedex somewhere! Sat is going to be hard and I'm not looking forward to it! I don't do well with goodbyes! But I will carry all the memories forever, you will live through me and I through you. You were a strong courageous women and I will strive to be more like you. I love you very much with my whole heart.

Tomorrow's Memorial Day mom a day to remember heroes. You were and will continue to be my hero. Your strength and courage, your compassion and never ending love will forever live on. Mom I'm looking for your sign to guide me. We are all asking each other if we are doing ok. Ok? What is that? Is that tolerating the emptiness and numbness that I feel. That huge hole in my heart that aches. I miss you more than you can possibly know. I hope you are dancing with the angels mom. Forever in my heart. ??. Love u.

Over the years you and gramps have given me great memories! A life without you is unbearable, unthinkable! The pain I feel is horrible! You were in so much pain and it was hard to see! I'm glad you are no longer suffering but miss you dearly! Me ma and dad went to village and had dinner yesterday. When I left I went to your old apartment parked in your spot and just cried! Losing gramps was hard but having you both gone is even harder! To see mom in so much pain and not know what to do is killing me. You were the best grandparents me and tash could ever wish for! I love you so much! I will carry you with me everyday! Through me mom and Tash you will live on. Every time I burp loudly, wash my toes or roll my eyes I will think of you!

Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.

I love you very much grams! I hope your giving gramps hell! I miss you dearly!

Mom. It's been just a little over a day since you left us. I'm so lost without you. I want you to know how proud I am of you for your strength throughout your battle. I know it was a hard fight mom but you did it with such dignity and grace. I know you are with dad and at peace free from all the pain and suffering. That brings me comfort. I will forever carry you with me and will look for you amongst the stars at night. Forever mom. Your daughter.
