You never said I'm leaving
                       You never said goodbye
                       You were gone before I knew it
                       And only God knew why
                       A million times I needed you
                       A million times I cried
                       If love alone could have saved you,
                       You never would have died.
                       In life I loved you dearly,
                       In death I love you still
                       In my heart you hold a place,
                      That no one could ever fill.
                      It broke my heart to lose you,
                      But you did not go alone
                      For part of me went with you
                     The day God took you home.

When you hear me laugh one moment in time,
Do you think...Oh great! She seems just fine.

The smiles you see, don’t reach my eyes....
Nor do you hear my silent anguished cries.

My heart is breaking, can’t you see....
Without my sweet mother here with me.

My heart and soul have taken a big hit....
Yet some loved ones tell me, “get over it.”

Each new day is an emotional strain....
I pray none of them experience this pain.

Only another child that is grieving too,
Can understand what I am going through.

My precious mother has died...that is true,
But why must I hide this pain from you?

For my nanny!  / Summer Parvin (Grandaughter)

"While we honor all our mothers
with words of love and praise.
While we tell about their goodness
and their kind and loving ways.
We should also think of Nanny,
she's a mother too, you see....
For she mothered my dear mother
as my mother mothers me."

Please Don't  / Paula (Daughter)
             
                

                   
Please, don't ask me if I am over it yet.
I'll never be over it

Please, don't tell me she is in a better place.
She isn't here with me.

Please, don't say at least she isn't suffering.
I haven't come to terms with why she had to suffer at all.

Please, don't tell me you know how I feel. Unless you have lost a mother.

Please, don't ask me if I feel better.
Bereavement isn't a condition that clears up.

Please, don't tell me at least you had her for all of your years.
What year would you choose to have your loved one die?

Please, don't tell me that God never gives us more then we can bear
.
Please, just say you are sorry.
Please, just say you remember my mother, if you do.
Please, let me talk about my mother.
Please, mention my mother's name.
Please, just let me cry.

Dear Nanny,  / Summer Parvin (Grand-daughter)

 

Dear Nanny, I miss you so much!
I wish I could hug you, even a little touch.
You meant so much to me,
I knew you loved me too, even though you could not see.
I wish you were here to talk to,
Because that is all I used to do.
Was listen to you for hours talk,
And I still remember that short walk
That me and you took down the road.
It meant so much to me, even though it never showed.
Little did I know, It would be the last walk we took.
And I still remember the way you look,
The way you acted, they way you cared.
How you laughed and how you dared.
I respected you so much for that,
Even when I was a brat.
"I love you" was the last thing you said,
Before you took your final rest in bed.
But I never got a chance to respond
That I loved you too, we had a special bond.
I never wanted to say goodbye,
But I know I'll meet you again, when I die.

In His Care / Paula Wooten (Daughter)
It's hard to see tomorrow
When someone you love is gone
It's harder still to realize
That your life will still go on 
The Lord won't give you burdens
He knows you cannot bear
He will not leave you comfortless
You'll always find Him there 
We're all our Father's children
On earth and up above
Your loved one's walking close to God
Surrounded by His love. Close

You're Missed  / Paula Wooten (Daughter)
It's surprising how often I think of you
             turn to speak to you
    and realize you're not right there
              as I expect you to be 

  I guess I hold you so close in thought 
that it's hard to understand sometimes
       that you aren't close in person 
        but I wanted to let you know
                I'm thinking of you
         and wishing we could talk 
        and just be together awhile
            you're really missed!

If Roses Grow In Heaven / Paula Wooten (Daughter)
     If Roses grow in Heaven,
Lord please pick a bunch for me,
 Place them in my Mother's arms
    and tell her they're from me. 

Tell her I love her and miss her,
  and when she turns to smile,
  place a kiss upon her cheek
     and hold her for awhile. 

Because remembering her is easy,
              I do it every day,but
      there's an ache within my heart 
         that will never go away.

From your daughter,
               Paula Close

I miss you so much mama i just can't begin to tell you how much your missed.But i know that your in a better place & 1 day we all will meet again like you told us in your letter.But until then there wont be a second that goes by that i don't think about you & my heart will never be the same without you here.I no that you are here watching over all of us & smiling that beautiful smile on us that you have always had.I try to think about all the days we spent with you & when we come over & cooked breakfast together.We had the best times with you laughing & carrying on didn't we? Cobey talks about his nanny alot & ask if your still in heaven & wants to know when your gonna be home so we can come see you.But i told him you was with the angels & you was watching us from above.I know he don't understand but 1 day he will!I catch myself alot of times fixing to call you when something happens its just a habit i guess.Its so hard not being able to talk to you & give you hugs & kisses like i did every time i saw you but i no 1 day i will be able to touch you again & give you all the love i want too.But you know how much I loved you & that means alot.We told you every chance we got you know you was loved dearly!!!Its very very hard going on everyday without you here but i try too.Im always thinking of you & what gets me by is knowing you would want us to go on with our lives & help raise our grand kids but i want you to know that i miss you so very much & like the song says that you wanted played at your funeral, I WILL MEET YOU AT THE RIVER 1 DAY!

Remember he said that all the time?Love you my precious mama! Your daughter. Paula Close

Missing my nanny!  / Summer Parvin (Grandaughter)

It just doesn't seem like it has been almost 2 years that you have been gone.It still just don't seem real.I spent alot of my life with you and just hard to face the fact that i will no longer be able to go stay with my nanny at night when something goes wrong.I always had you there when i needed someone to talk to or just to spend time with.I miss you more and more every day.It's the smallest things that remind me of you.Not a day has gone by that you have not crossed my mind in some kind of way.I miss you so much.I know that you are in a much better place now and that you are no longer in any kind of pain but that still leaves the fact that you are not here with us.I know i will see you again and look forward to that day but until then,know that i love you so much and miss you VERY much.Cobey still says stuff about his nanny,he loved his nanny and he still does.When you was sick and in the hospital,you said that you were afraid if something happened to you that he wouldn't remember you because he is so young but he does.He still talks about his nany alot.He loved you SO much just like the rest of us do.I know you are watching over us and him too.I am going to end this for now but never will i end my love for you.I will come back and write more later but until then,I love you and miss you SOOO much.
