One foot at a time





Dona May Wilkinson 4-17-24


Tomorrow will be a better day.
She is always with you.
You will always have the memories.


Little words made in gesture of trying to ease a destroyed child's heart.

No matter your age the death of a parent is one of the hardest things you will ever face. When that parent has been with you non stop for all 46 years of your life, there is a big hole ripped out of your heart and the very core of your being.
Being an adult with a family does not make it easier or hurt less, nor does it make it heal faster.

Tomorrow will be a better day, tell that to the child or grandchild who while sitting quietly at school is so over come with grief he cant eat.

She is always with you, Once the person is gone they are with you in spirit but you never over come that need for the loving touch of the hand or the warmth of her arms or even just the smell of her deodorant or perfume.

You will always have the memories, yes this is very true but memories dont dry your tears or brush off a boo boo or even reassure you when a light is mistakenly turned off at night.

Call me selfish that is ok, but I would rather have my mom here with me than have memories.

I guess this to shall pass and I will heal but the heart will never recover the whole left empty by the passing of this beautiful angel.

I am proud to be the daughter of the worlds Best mother and I will honor her memory and do as she wanted me to and be what she wanted me to be the best mommy in the world as she was.

Mom as you sit there in heaven enjoying the love of the people who went before, your daughter here on earth will always love you and you will be in my heart and soul for eternity.I will make you proud and I will be what you wanted me to be.

Mommy

Today I lost my best friend, my mother Dona May Wilkinson, left earth on a dream and went home to be with her parents brothers and sisters and grandchildren Cory and Randall.

She leaves behind a lifetime of love given love shared and laughter, tears cried and hearts aching for her hands and arms.


I will never forget you nor will I ever stop grieving for you mommy,You lived a long hard life with lots of lows and lots of high

You survived tuberculous you survived raising 8 kids on your own and you survived the death of two of your grandchildren, while all the while having the time to say Mary its going to be alright we will get through this together.

Growing up you were chef, cab driver, referee, punisher and the person who i turned to every time my heart hurt or was broken. You cried when we cried and you laughed when we laughed.

The day has been along one and I know you rest now. Enjoy your journey on the clouds and never fear the ones here will remember you for ever and that we bond together out of love for you. We will get through and we will endure.


God has his sweetest angel now and I know you and Aunt Hazel are comparing
notes and making notes preparing for the future.


I love you mommy

You are my hero and my light
