Eulogy for Mother :: Eulogies Eulogy

Eulogy for MotherIt is hard for me to believe shes gone, my main(a) influence, sustainer, supporter and wisest counselor has left me physically. Mother was such an active participant in this world skillful to her very last breath. I am so grateful to have been with her on her last day. At his menses she was struggling to form words and get them proscribed, but her mind was alert, sympathize with and compassionate. She was still worried slightly me, a mother to the end. During our conversation I mentioned that when I left her I was going to have dinner with my cousin Alison and friend Keith and she told me, albeit with some degree of difficulty, to VAMOOSE. She wanted me to be off enjoying myself. We had a wonderful visit talked about upcoming events in both our lives. I asked her if she was discouraged and she replied, no, a trooper to the end. I left her legal opinion optimistic, not aware that I had given her, her last kiss. What an honor I have never had any trouble singi ng my mothers praises. My friends and family know that I forever appreciated and admired her. I never hesitated to include her in my activities or gatherings, knowing full well that she would probably be the most interesting person there. A testament to this was the entire variety of age groups and mass she had as friends. Very few wad knew mums age, and this was for a very good reason. She felt if people knew her age they might just write her off, as simply other older lady, those of us who knew her never made that mistake. She was so adamant about keeping her age a secret that she wouldnt let me impart her an 80th birthday party for that would clearly let the obvious out of the bag. Mum was first and foremost our mother, a job she took very seriously, we were always her primary concern and like most mothers she continued her watch right up to the end. One of her expressions was, you didnt grow up by stroking you know At first I didnt know sort of what this was supposed to mean but I came to know that this meant she had devoted her livelihood to our stewardship and she had worked hard to instill her values and qualities. Her most notable qualities were her fierce truth to all of her family, her personal poise, elegance, grace, talents and wisdom.
