I am left standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze & starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty & strength. I stand & watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea & sky come to mingle with each other...Then someone at my side says: "There, she is gone!"..."Gone where?"... Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast & hull & spar as she was when she left my side & she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port. Her diminished size is in me, not her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says:"There, she is gone!" there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout:"Here she comes!"........And that is dying.

Dearest Dolly,
Well, here we are, having what may be our last heart to heart for awhile. I have so much to say! First and foremost, know how much I have always loved and respected you. How can I begin? When I was hungry, you fed me. When I was troubled, you consoled me. When I needed to vent, you listened to me. You were wisdom without judgement. I hope you know how much I appreciated that from you.
All those oh so early mornings when you had a hot pot of coffee ready, with a smile on your face and an outfit that had to be just so! You diva, you!
How you used to laugh at me about my coffee creamer,put in the fridge, sometimes coupled with a few brews. Talk about the crack of dawn!
I used to relish the times over the vinyl tablecloth, covered with kid's work from school, the never ending to do list, the mount of bills...
you always just knew that it would all work out.
Always level, with grace and dignity.
Dolly, you have always been my kind of lady.
You saw so much and said little. You kept your mouth shut about stuff...
But!
Not always, Girlfriend!
You, I think, were ahead of your time. As a woman, I mean. You were an outspoken woman who did what she needed to be done and said all that was necesary. Whether it be sugar bread or die, by God, you made it work. Good for you, sweet Dolly! Oh, Dolly, let's talk about some fun!
How about your birthday, when I sang you a special Polish honor song, and you had NO idea what I was singing, but knew it was good?
How about the Chistmas Eve party with you and Frieda as the Mummsie Twins?!? You both were the hit of that freezing cold party, and did not even know it!
But, I gotta tell you, Dolly, you passed your love on to my friends, your children, Dar and B.J....
These are people filled with the love and giving that you are. And you know, and have always known, that the best of us, as you, are not without faults. That is one, among many other things I love about you.
Love and acceptance.
Oh, yeah, did I mention how much fun I had at your birthday party with you wine coolers?
Oh, foo, Dolly, now I'm crying, and this letter was meant to be one of joy.
So, be with your beloved, say hi to all whom I love, and I'll see you when it is time.
Just know how much you touched me and I love you, Mom.

Well, here it is 4 in the morning & I can't sleep...Guess you know what happened next...Yep, right down the hall I went for our morning chat or to just stroke your beautiful hair & snuggle with my mommy just one more time...Your bed is now empty, but my heart will always be full of your unconditional love...Oh, mom I miss you so...When it starts getting too bad I remember what you told me, "I will always be right there on your shoulder"...So, I will just lay in your bed for awhile, inhaling your sweet scent on your pillow, wrapped in all the beautiful warm memories we've shared throughout my 49 years of having the privledge of being your daughter & sleep will come...Then tomorrow I'll start over again, & perhaps eventually I will be able to sleep through the night without needing my mommy...But, I always know that if I do happen to need you, you'll be there, no matter what, with your sweet unconditional love...So, good-night mom, see you in the morning, again, someday...xoxoxo
Well, it's Thanksgiving, & I've been sitting here trying to find something to give thanks for. And then it hit me like a ton of bricks. What I have the most to be thankful for is that with the help of my wonderful husband & children: BJ, Will, Jolene, Amanada, & Dillon, I was able to allow my mother to pass away in her own home, in her own bed, with a peaceful smile on her face, surrounded by the people that loved her dearly. If there was ever anyone on this earth that deserved this it was my mother, Dolly G. Fuller, the best friend, mother, grandmother, sister, wife, daughter, & person that anyone could ever have the privledge of knowing. So Mom, you rest in peace. Give Dad, Debbie, Aunt, Timmy, & Freda a kiss & hug for me. Don't worry about Denny Wenny Stinky Poo. Me, BJ, & the kids will always make sure that she is taken care of. I'll miss you forever, but never will you be forgotten.
