Upstate, Mother's Day

Father,
It is my sister's
First Mother's Day
In the Upstate house, alone. 

Surrounded by memories,
And mementos of our life with mom,
Let my sister derive some comfort
From the years that we had. 

Let her remember the good times
And gracefully forgot the sorrows. 
Let her know that,
Even though our mom is gone,
She deeply loved us in this life. 

These are the thoughts
You have breathed to me
Over these past few years. 

Do the same to my sister, Lord.
