Mother's Day 08
Submited by: Lisa Johnson
 
I never thought possible that I could ever have a good Mother's Day since my 17 yr daughter passed away in a tragic car accident. I now have 4 kids physically here with me and my oldest daughter would always be missing. As I went through Mother's Day this year I just kept thinking and wondering, does Lacy know it's Mother's Day in Heaven? I kept thinking about the last Mother's Day spent with all 5 of my kids almost 3 yrs ago and cherish the last Mother's Day card my daughter gave me. When I went to my mom's house, she was crying and said I have a Mother's Day for you from Lacy. I said how can that be possible she's gone. My mom said she'd had an overwhelming desire to clean out her closet and came across a poem Lacy wrote me back in 1999 and she would of been around 12 yrs old, the poem read:

To: Mom
From: Lacy
If love was a person and I gave mine to you and it gets bigger everyday
My love for you wouldn't fit the universe and if God gave me two choices to do and the choices are I live and you die, or I die and your mom lives, I would choose you live and I die. I Love You!

How unbelievable is that this is what happened, she's gone and here I am. I still in shock
