We re-watched the movie, "Letters to Juliet\" tonight; a lovely, sweet, romantic movie which touches my heart in many ways. Both times that I have watched it, I have been brought to tears by a poignant scene where the older beautiful Claire comforts a sad and confused Sophie with nary a word, just a touch of the forehead and then Claire brushes Sophie's hair as a comfort.
Life is so tough, even cruel at times and I would love to hear the sound of my mother's voice or feel the touch of her hand on my forehead or have her brush my hair in comfort, or to just be alive, back in my life.
I am falling into the "older woman" category now and am learning to give comfort that is so needed in this crazy race we call life but sometimes.....I would love to be comforted.............

No one will ever replace your mom. She was that special one of a kind lady that comes through our lives and leaves a hole on departing. My earliest memories know her presence, her laugh, her grace. She was always good to me.
ReplyDeleteI do not have the ability to comfort most of my children. Amanda has walked into my life for a short time and Hannah for an even shorter time. We love where we can, but at the same time I know that my time of being stroked is over. Sometimes I want to throw a tantrum and get someone to notice that I need that too. Sometimes I do, but never to the effect I desire. Yet sometimes I feel the presence of my dad, my grandmother and my sister about me and choose to believe they are stroking my hair and touching my heavy spirit. I love you girl.
This past year I have so wanted my mommy. There is no one that can replace her. I wish she was there to stroke your hair or your face as well.
ReplyDeleteI always wonder...what if.....what if.
