About: This is part of the poem that I wrote and then put in my mom's (Rita) casket when she passed away 8 years ago (April 19, 2004) from Lung Cancer. Though I added on to this a few years ago, she was able to read some of it and was able to feel my heartfelt love for her. She always loved this opal background.

I think about her every day and I miss her greatly. I am working on an online cookbook for her in her memory, she worked on family recipes for so many years. When I get it uploaded and done I'll put the link here so you all can go visit.

The song they played at her funeral was "The Dance" by Garth Brooks, it is still to this day very hard to listen to without tearing up and crying. But once a year I force myself to listen to it, so I can get all the tears I hold inside out.

Song Inspiration:

Lyrics:

Looking back on the memory of The dance we shared 'neath the stars above For a moment all the world was right How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye?
And now I'm glad I didn't know The way it all would end, the way it all would go Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain, but I'd have had to miss the dance
Holding you, I held everything For a moment, wasn't I a king? But if I'd only known how the king would fall Hey, who's to say? You know I might have changed it all
And now I'm glad I didn't know The way it all would end, the way it all would go Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain, but I'd have had to miss the dance
Yes my life is better left to chance I could have missed the pain, but I'd have had to miss the dance
