HIS PICTURE
On my pillow lays his picture
Soothing my aching heart.
I look at his gentle eyes
And his beautiful smile
Oh Lord I never thought we`d have to part.
I lost him so young
My soul is broken and it will never ever again mend.
Ripped in two is my shredded heart
Please Lord help me, this pain will never end.
He visits me in my dreams
To say mum I love you
But I miss him so much that it hurts.
Is this really real? because it`s so terribly cruel
My heart`s aching fit to burst.
When I gave birth to him
I fell forever in love
He gently taught me how to be a mum.
I gave him his first drink
And as he lay in my arms! his very last!
But no words can comfort me in these endless days
There is only one thing I know for sure
That one day we`ll be together again
And I`ll be able to hug my Andrew once more.
I love you darling
Mum xx

Hi Georgina This poem of your son is heart wrenching but beautiful
only a mother can feel love like this, and pain in the loss of her child
I have had many losses in my life but to lose a child is no comparison in
my eyes,Just the thought of losing a child is painful in itself, Andrew your
dear son must be so proud of you his mother , for the beautiful words you write
about him and to him lots of hugs and love from me ......Debs xx
Hi Debs,
Thank you so much for that lovely message, you always cheer me up and comfort me with your kind words and that means a lot to me. My Andrew was only 31 when I lost him in 2009 and from diagnosis to his loss was only 10 months! yet the doctors told me that with treatment he would have about three years! But the cancer was so aggressive that he didn`t stand a chance! Bowel cancer is supposed to be treatable and curable but it has to be found early and he didn`t tell me about the symptoms because he said he didn`t want to worry me!! I feel guilty for not noticing his illness and making him go to the doctors. Sadly he was a smoker!! Even though I tried to stop him, but you can`t change people and tobacco is very addictive. Neither Geoff or I have ever smoked so it was a shock when Andrew started! We all need to be aware of the symptoms of bowel cancer and should get checked regularly.
Thank you for your message and for the comfort you`ve given me, you`ve made my day sweetie.
God bless and hugs back to you

Hello Georgina...
Sometimes, unfortunately symptoms can be deceiving and...
You don't think of the worst it could be...
You think that gee I am just not feeling too good today.
I was informed that cancer depending on the location there doesn't have to be in any pain at all...
You shouldn't blame yourself and...
I'm sure that if your Son thought it was that serious, but chances are he didn't that in his mind...
Just for an example from the time My Mother was diagnosed she lived approximately six weeks...
She complained of a headache and shoulder pain...
I took her to the Doctor and it wasn't until a few weeks later that she couldn't get out of bed...
It was that day we found our she had cancer...
It wasn't until she was released from the hospital a few days later and I brought her in for another opinion that she had 7 brain tumors, adrenal gland cancer, ovarian cancer, it was spreading into her spine when she passed away...
Found out later it all began with lung cancer that she didn't know she even had...
To say the least...
I was in a state of shock...
Because, she had been so well so it seemed...
Please don't blame yourself...
Thank you for sharing this remembrance of your Son...
I am sorry that you have so much pain and words can't take it away...
Otherwise, I would certainly try to tell you the words that would make all the pain go away...
Please accept my Hug that I send...
You are in my thoughts and prayers...
Hugs...

Thank you so much for that warming and loving message Sparrowsong, I very much appreciate what you have told me. I`m so sorry that you have lost your mum sweetie, and I know that cancer is often called the silent killer because you can have it and feel perfectly ok until near the end of course. You too are in my prayers honey and I certainly know what you have gone through. They say that guilt is all part of the grieving process so I know you are right in what you say sweetie. Thank you again for such a lovely message and thank you for taking the time to read this piece.
God bless
Hugs

Our Dear Georgina,
First of all, please forgive me for not reading your poem sooner, for I left Friday on a business trip and just returned today, Tuesday afternoon. I told Linda that we would catch up on all the submitted poems, when I got home, because it is too difficult to do over the phone. I need to be here and feel the passion in lieu of making superficial comments. So now we've just arrived at your beautiful tribute to Andrew. As you know, I can so commiserate with your pain, because even though my beautiful Nico was just a beautiful little doggie, I loved him with every ounce of my being. So when I read your lines about the never ending pain, and losing part of your soul, I'm right there with you, my dear Georgina! I've been crying for sixteen months, and will still be crying in sixteen years, but as Linda and I read your beautiful poem, our eyes filled with tears and all we wanted to think about, was how we could help alleviate your pain. Then one looks at that beautiful photograph of you with your beloved Andrew, coupled with that heartbreaking line , that you gave him his first and last drinks as you held him in your arms, is a total heartbreaker. I know it has taken you many years to be able to create this beautiful tribute to him, but you have illustrated to the world, your love for "your dear little boy" Andrew. We're going to end this letter to you with the tearstained sobs that you evoked in us.
We love you, Georgina, and always will,
Linda and Larry
Hi my Larry,
Thank you both for that wonderful message sweetie. I was wondering why I hadn`t heard from you for a couple of days, I`ve missed you both!! I hope your trip was a success sweetie, you`ll have to tell me all about it when you get the chance! I`m glad you liked the poem, sorry though for making you both tear up!! and I`m glad that I`ve got my two most favourite people back home again.
I love you both
God bless and keep you safe

Hi Georgina,
Never apologize for such a beautifully written poem that brings tears to someone's eyes, because not all of them represent sadness! Some of them are for the joy of such a beautiful creation. I was on a whirlwind trip, driving over 2,000 miles in 3 1/2 days, to spend Father's Day with my Son, and to drop off over 100 paintings at an Ohio auction house, to generate some much needed capital. I can only say that half of the trip went well, while the other half did not, but will leave it to conjecture for which was which. Also look on line tomorrow, for a little present I brought my Georgina back from the trip.
All our love,
Linda and Larry
Intrigue!!....double intrigue!!! What do you mean when you say look on line?....Do you mean on here?.....I love surprises!!... I hope your visit with your son went well, I`ll bet he misses you so much!
Love you both

Hi Georgina,
I mean a poem that I'm writing just for you. I said that ones left for conjecture, but since you're my closest friend, we'll talk in a private message tomorrow.
Larry
Okey doke kiddo
