Like A Sunflower

Hi Everyone, Yesterday was the third anniversary of my mother's passing. I want to pay tribute to her today, she is "Dolly", her nickname growing up for those of you who did not know that :) I started this blog to help with the grieving process of losing her, and it has been that and more. Time does make remembering easier. When I think of her today, I think of the happier times more and more, and not the painful ending. I truly feel the words to this song. She will always be a part of me. Her love, I feel is like a flower, it grows inside of me to carry on and give it selflessly and compassionately to everyone. When I chose to live my life that way, I serve her memory well. When I go to her grave I only bring Sunflowers. I just love them. Symbolically the Sunflower's petals represent bright yellow rays of sunshine, which evoke feelings of warmth and happiness. The Sunflower is also associated with adoration and longevity. A perfect way for a daughter to remember her mother.
Thank you for visiting my blog,
Love ya,
Janet :)



There's a hole in my heart
No one else can fill it
There's a feeling I have
No one can replace
There's a taste in my mouth
No one else can give me
There's a song that I hear
No one can erase

Why would I want them to
I'm still looking back at you
Why would I want them to be you

You'll always be a part of me
What you love can never let you go
You'll always be inside of me
Like a flower you grow

There's a strange melody
Sends me straight to heaven
There's a voice in my head
No one else can hear

There's a prayer that I say
Always brings me closer
To the presence of you
To always have you near

No one can take your place
I'm still looking at your face
No one can take the place of you

You'll always be a part of me
What you love can never let you go
You'll always be inside of me
Like a flower you grow

Like a flower you grow

Why would I want them to
I'm still looking back at you
Why would I want them to be you

You'll always be a part of me
What you love can never let you go
You'll always be inside of me
Like a flower you grow

Like a flower you grow
