I am not sure what to say here and I do not mean that in a negative way. I guess, I will just say simply-this was so nicely written. I do believe, if you feel closest to your mom at the water's edge, then you are not alone, she is there.
Truly nice job

Thank you MJ, I believe that she is with me. I grew up in the country and I always loved the outdoors. I always feel peace when walking with nature. My mom was raised in an old water town not far from where I live. I go there often. Thank you for reading and thank you for the wonderful rating, take care

Oh how I can relate to your story of love and devotion for your mom. Always remember when our love ones pass that we have memories and feelings in our hearts and minds. Well written and flows to give the reader a glimpse of living in your shoes. Thanks for sharing, cheers Kev

Comment from kathleenspalding
Aw. Very well done piece on grief, very true observations at the end. Only a couple typos and a suggestion.
...water(')s edge...
Needs a period at the very end.
Please double space between paragraphs for easier reading.
That's it. Great job!

Comment from Cass Carlton
This minds me of the time 50 plus years ago when I went through the exact same loss . I was in a daze for weeks, as it hadn't been expected. Not by me at any rate. My father knew, but he didn't tell me until the morning he came back from the phone box down the street after ringing the hospital to be told she had died the night before. He left it to me to tell the younger children sooner that front up himself Talk about gutless!!Still, that isn't what I started out to say. The sense of loss and emptiness I felt was like an abyss, black and yawning at my feet. Only the need to maintain a façade of calm and strength for the little ones kept me going.
I don't know how long your mother has been gone, but keep thinking about all the happy, lovely things you shared and she won't seem far away at all cheers Cass

Cass, I'm sorry for your loss. I guess we'll never forget how we felt that day. My mom passed away17 months ago from Alzheimer's. I slowly lost the mom I knew...but forever my mother no matter what. It was just her and I when she passed. A very sad moment...She was there when I came into the world (of course) and I was there when she left this world.
Thank you for sharing your story with me, what a burden to bear at a young age to tell the younger ones.
And thank you for reading my story and for the stars. Take care, have a great weekend, Annie

This speaks about mom, author now remembers those moments of sitting beside or closes around her mom passing moments and writing and doing everything of her passion, how hard it is to think mom is no more, grand memories never fade; I liked.
