Our last song

For my Mom. ♥

Rough translation:
Sing a song
And for a moment
You will be visited by the wind
Sing a song
And for a moment
Dream sweetly of the wind
Sleep now until the night is dawn
The wind and the night song, they are there
However the song, my child, will go on forever.

Our last song. Love and miss you Mom..


When I was younger my sister and I made a CD for my mom with peaceful and happy songs, some of our favorites. This was one of my favorites as well as one of my mothers. The morning she died, she was barely coherent and the CD we made was playing for her. I held her hand through this song, clinging to her arm while it was playing. This was the last song that played fully through before she died. I'm thankful for it, I will always have it. I will miss her more than I could ever say, and more than tears can ever express. She taught me how to be strong, how to be happy, how to be the person I want to be and so much of who I am. So this is it: Our last song.

  3. What a beautiful thing to listen to upon your last moments. To have it tied with such sweet memories, I can only imagine what an amazing gift and moment you gave her upon her last moments here. I hope that my daughters and son understand the same thing one day as you have at such a young age. It's the moments that you create...even up until your last breath that count. Nothing money can ever buy. It's being true to yourself and others around you. She must have been an amazing mom because you obviously have an understanding beyond your years. Be sorrowful, but be proud. Much love.

  4. I am so sorry that your mother has passed away. No matter the circumstances it is always hard. I lost my mother when I was 19, and I agree, it hurts worse than there is any way to express it. Draw close to those around you, lean on each other through this hard time. The loss of my mother brought my siblings and I so much closer, I guess there are always blessings that come out of tragedy. I wish you strength for the next few months, they are the hardest.

  5. What a beautiful song to remember your mom by--you know, you are so much like your mother. You really are. Not only do you look so much like her, but you have her strength, her warm heart, her joy for life, and her faith. We're still praying for you, and let me know if we can do anything for you.
