This blog is a living tribute in loving memory of a Mother who dedicated her life to the very end for her children. It is a living tribute based on the written words found in her own hand writing after her passing.

Jean Esther Herman (Nov. 10, 1927-Nov. 2, 1999)

    This is a lovely site. I shall be back to actually read your mother’s poems as soon as I can do so without breaking down. My own loss is still too fresh. Your Mom is surely proud of your offering.

    A very nice tribute. I accidentally ended up here and saw your Grandmother’s name. My Great-Grandmother’s name was Esther Jean!!!

    Hi Reallyy a good poems..
    My mother left me in this july i miss her a lot

    I miss my mother…..the way she used to be…before everything changed.

    I miss your voice that used to softly sing my special lullaby.
    I miss your hands that used to hold me when I was scared.
    I miss your eyes that would bring me to ease each time I stared into them.
    I miss your nicknames you gave me when I would act bad.
    I miss you falling asleep to your heartbeat when I would lay my head upon your chest.
    I miss the prayers we taught me when we prayed together.
    I miss our talks on the car ride over to school.
    I miss the “I love you’s” & “Be careful’s” everyday.
    I miss the “Good Morning” & “Good night’s”.
    I miss our tickle fights.
    I miss our arguments knowing you were always right.
    I miss you……..the way you once were.

    What am today is because of you mom, miss you so much mom plzz come back in my life again… plzz
