If only i could hold and hug you
If only I could make you laugh
If only I could talk to you
If only I could walk with you
If only I could enjoy nature with you
If only I could drive you around in a car
If only I could play cards with you and a lot more
If only I could feel your presence
If only I could talk to you about the children
If only I could let you feel how special you are
If only I could tell you how much I love you
If only I could be on the computer with you, because you could do that as well!

Now I wonder every day how you are doing
Now I wonder every day if I have done enough
Now I miss you every day

Still I want to tell everyone what a special mother you were
A sweet and tender mother, a mother who was there
A mother to love
A mother who deserved it to be taken care of
Full of love always putting others first
A mother and grandmother who loved her children and grandchildren so much and was always there
You were so creative with your beautiful hands.
The same hands that could make what your eyes saw
Many 'pieces of art' you have made
and this to the please of a lot of people, Chapeau Mom!
We had a special connection and said to each other: 'the two of us'.
And this will never fade away, 'the two of us Mom!'
And since a year I am a photographer myself, just like you
Do you remember that you started doing that when there were grandchildren?
They called you Granny Yasica :-), as a joke
It's a pitty I can not share this with you
I could go on for hours with telling you and it would still be not sufficient
Maatje, my dearest Moesje, my dotje dons, my everything, maybe you are watching
In my thoughts you will always be there.
