| Standing Beside Her As a little girl with pigtails I stood by my mother's side, Hanging onto her skirt tail With all my little might. As a teenager with blue jeans my stubbornness stood strong against her, Standing firm and defiant, Wanting to do what I'd rather. As a young woman newly married, Wanting advice of life and love, She stood before me, Answered me truthfully, And for me that was enough. As a lady with my husband and children I stood at my mother's bedside as she slept, Taking care of her as if she were my own child, And making sure her health was kept. Today I feel the kind of pain That my own heart cannot stand, And that's why God makes only one mother For every child to tend. For now I'll tell my mother goodbye As I stand beside her grave, Knowing tomorrow will be better Since God has her with him Within the heavens that he made.

| My Mother died on October 8th, 2004 of liver failure, complications of Lupus. She was only 59 years old. This is the hardest thing I've had to deal with in my life so far, the loss is unbearable. I miss her terribly. She was truely loved by her family. My husband has stood beside me through all of this and if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have made it through. So, to my husband.... I love you dearly and thank you! To family and friends who attended the funeral and who were there for me during this time of sorrow, thank you doesn't say enough. Shelly Belk |
