Because I Could Not Stop For Death By Emily Dickinson

Because I could not stop for Death,
He kindly stopped for me;
The carriage held but just ourselves
And Immortality.

We slowly drove, he knew no haste,
And I had put away
My labor, and my leisure too,
For his civility.

We passed the school, where children strove
At recess, in the ring;
We passed the fields of gazing grain,
We passed the setting sun.

Or rather, he passed us;
The dews grew quivering and chill,
For only gossamer my gown,
My tippet only tulle.

We paused before a house that seemed
A swelling of the ground;
The roof was scarcely visible,
The cornice but a mound.

Since then 'tis centuries, and yet each
Feels shorter than the day
I first surmised the horses' heads
Were toward eternity.

My dear friend Regina, I have absolutely no words for the loss of your mom. This is a loss so very great and I know how you felt about your mother. I also know that you, my dear friend was THE BEST DAUGHTER she could have ever been blessed to have. You always went above and beyond doing things expected and unexpected because of your love for her. You took great care of her in every imaginable way!! I know your tears are great but I know GOD IS EVEN GREATER!! Your mom has been added to a beautiful garden with my son, our sisters AND I BELIEVE THAT IF WE ARE LUCKY WE SHALL ALL BE TOGETHER FOREVER MORE!!! Grieve now my friend BUT DONT STOP LIVING!! We are here to cherish their memories!!! I love u!!! Be blessed and you are awesome in my eyes
