It was yesterday I was dancing on the coffee table with her
It was yesterday when we threw linguini and butter at each other
It was yesterday she held my hand and told me my heart would mend
It was yesterday when she told me she was proud of me
and it was yesterday a mother was lost, and all you wished were for those moments.

just one more.

I love you mom.

Angel Demon

A favorite poem of mine that perhaps can help:

O Great Spirit whose voice I hear in the winds, hear me. I come before you one of your many children, I am small and weak, I need your strength and wisdom. Let me walk in beauty and let my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset. Make my hands respect the things you have made, and my ears sharp to hear your voice. Make me wise so that I may understand the things you have taught my people, the lesson you have hidden in every leaf and rock. I seek strength not to be greater than my brother but to fight my greatest enemy, myself. Make me ever ready to come to you with clean hands and straight eyes so that when life fades as a fading sunset my spirit may come to you without shame.

~Chief Yellow Lark

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I don't have a poem for this. I don't have any planned words. In some ways I don't think that anyone CAN have words, and those that do have a far greater power than I. The power to comfort, to offer consolation when pain is at it's greatest, sorrow at it's highest, despair so powerful that you think that you could reach out and touch it. I have no words for something like that. I never have. The only thing that I have every been able to give is an hand to hold, an arm to encircle, a shoulder to cry on, and at this time, in this way, I cannot offer them, and that tears me up inside. Doot, I wish I could be THERE to help you, I really do. To offer the shoulder, the arm, the hand, whatever. But I cannot. Distance has more than one meaning. People can move over the wall into the next realm, but their names are never forgotten, nor are their spirits. In this sense distance is nullified, and in this sense the people that we love most are never gone. But that fact cannot erase the pain of it all, for that distance is still there, and it always will be. I cannot offer my only form of help, but I can offer this: My thoughts and prayers are with you today and every day after for as long as this pain lingers. And I know that this may seem weird. Heck, I am only a member on a message board that you have never met in person, but remember, as much as Sperrit is a character he has basis in me, and Sperrit is, above all else, a healer and a friend. Know that I mourn your loss, and that I hope with all my heart that you can find your peace, you and everyone else in your family. The arm, hand and shoulder are there, even though I am not.

Keep the Dream Fox

A conversation between Shino and Doot yesterday morning:

Darth Shino: I really wish I knew what to say

Rina: say, rubber baby buggy bumpers

Darth Shino: Keep her alive... in your heart... Remember the good things... That's the only way to truly move on with it....

Darth Shino: rubber baby buggy bumpers!

Darth Shino: That is the only way I was every able to deal with not knowing my father before he passed on... I think of who I know he was b/c of what my family has told me. And I see him in me, because I turned out to be a lot like him.

Darth Shino: And if you need anything at all, please call me

Darth Shino: I'll be here

Rina: I will hon, thank you


Rina, I love you dearly. You are like a little sister to me, and to see you in pain, pains me. You have heard over and over "if you need anything" and "I'll be here if you need me" and the sort from everyone... including me... so with this message to you, I will take a different approach. This may get a little spiritual.

Things I feel about Serina Foor.
1) You are one of the best friends I or anyone else can have.
2) You are truely in my eyes one of the greatest people on the face of the earth.
3) I am honered and blessed just to have met you.
4) Your smile brightens a room.
5) A hug from you creates smiles.
6) Your dedication is an inspiration to me and others around you.

I wonder, when you say hello to people in the elevator, or in passing, do those people know they have just met the greatest person on the face of the earth? Probably not. I am a Christian, and I do believe in God, and Jesus my savior, and Heaven. Rina, I truely am blessed by God to have someone like you as a friend. I will never think differently. I know that right now, your mother is in a place where she is happier then she has ever been in her entire existance. And I believe that she is looking down on you. And she sees the amount of love you are showing. And she loves you back. And she is very proud of you. Because I know that I am.

There is a saying that (among others) I have learned to try to live my life by. "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger." I know it's hard, and it's ok to cry... cry as much as you want. Then when you are finished letting it all out, cry some more. When your are finished with that, I along with everyone you know, and everyone hear on PO, that has come to know that all the things I said about you are true, will be here to give you the biggest hug in the world.

As far as PO goes for this week, because of all that has happened, I am making an executive desision. Our Feature Otaku for this week will be Doot! The Otaku that was scheduled to be up (Ain in Sciler outfit) will be postponed until next week. The comic that is up right now (PSO Intermission) will stay up this week and the regularly scheduled comic (Shino's Quest) will be put up next week.

Thanx to all Otaku for your understanding in this first hard time in PO history.

All my love to you Rina!

I guess I really can't say anything that hasn't already been said, or anything that wouldn't make me sound like a broken record player. I realize that right now I don't know the level of sorrow you must be feeling, and it scares me to know that one day I will. Everyone here at PO supports you and will stand by you in times such as these, and if they don't post in this thread, be assured that it's not for lack of caring, but rather because finding words to give comfort to someone who has suffered such a loss is one of the most difficult things to do as a friend.

It sounds like you and your mother had a great relationship and loved each other very much. Keep her alive in your memories and in your heart, always.

--Bryan

-sighs- I wish mom didn't have to go. I felt like I was broken into millions of peices. Crying and crying, staying with Rina over at her place. It's killer to have someone so close to you just die. It's hard for me, because I'm young. I really wish she didn't go...

My friend, Jordan...she said that she has gone to a better place. I believe that.

I haven't gone to seen her for a year, and for Doot 5 years. I was afraid to visit her this year because of flying. Then there were some other personl reasons. At school people used to tell them stupid "Yo Mama" jokes. I told them I didn't care. She's my mom, and they can say the stupid jokes. But for now and always they WILL stop.

The last time I visited her...we always had fun. Even if she had to go write more for her job at home, we'd have fun. The cats that crawled everywhere, the clay wizard she made, which I had a tough time making. Her smile and soul were cheerful and outgoing. She taught us great things, and wrote stories with her life.

We love you mom. We'll miss you. Rest well. Don't worry, you'll make it to Florida.

I love you mom, with all my life, soual, heart, and breath.

Angel Demon

Sorrow is an interesting aspect of humanity, because we can acknowledge when we have lost someone near and dear to us. I can still remember what is was like when I heard that my grandmother had passed on, and all the things I had ever wanted to say to her because I thought that she'd always be there.

We can never predict when it is time for someone to leave us, and it is not our place to decide when; we can only cherish the time we got to have with that person, and think of the laughter.

Like Doot, I feel for you too Sakura. May you find strength to help you through this time.

Love and Peace

I havn't been able to say much productive on the subject to ya lately, but know that while I'm not the most elegant speaker or person around, I feel for both of ya immensely. While I havn't known ya till recently, most of all I can give to anyone is an open ear, for I think listening is much more productive than overwhelming speech.

Rather than talk about things that relate me to the event at hand, let me just offer that, as said by other members of this great community, that as long as you keep her, and hope, strong in your heart, you won't ever be alone. And besides, you've got this awesome PO community; a group-hug is always avaliable Smile

Much love,
Cobbi

Doot and Sakura, I really honestly have no idea what to tell you that hasn't already been said. I've never really had to deal with death in my lifetime, so I honestly do not know what to say, or even if there is anything anyone can say, to help you carry this pain. Even so, I know nothing can really prepare you to deal with so great a loss. In times like these I remember the Footprints in the Sand poem (yes, I know everyone's heard it a million times but it still helps to hear it every now and then)...

One night I dreamed I was walking along
the beach with the Lord. Many
scenes from my life flashed across
the sky. In each scene I noticed
footprints in the sand. Sometimes
there were two sets of footprints.
Other times there were one set of
footprints. This bothered me because
I noticed that during the low periods
of my life when I was suffering from
anguish, sorrow, or defeat, I could see
only one set of footprints, so I said to
the Lord, "You promised me, Lord,
that if I followed you, you would walk
with me always. But I noticed that
during the most trying periods of my
life there have only been one set of
prints in the sand. Why, When I have
needed you most, you have not been
there for me?"

The Lord replied,

"The times when you have seen only
one set of footprints is when I carried
you."


I'm certain your mother is looking down on both of you now beaming with pride to have two such wonderful children. She will live on in your hearts and minds forever through your cherished memories. Know that if you need someone to talk to that I, like the rest of the PO members, am always here. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

A conversation between Shino and Sakura:

DarthShino: how are ya

sakurachan43: Fine..sad..tired...weak from crying, not much. You?

DarthShino: ehh...

DarthShino: I understand Sakura

DarthShino: Wink

sakurachan43: Smile

DarthShino: have you been talking to your sister a lot

sakurachan43: Yup

sakurachan43: Lotsa

DarthShino: good

DarthShino: that's important

DarthShino: you two need to be there for eachother right now

sakurachan43: I stayed over at her place Sunday night and didn't go to school yesterday or today

sakurachan43: mhm I know.

DarthShino: She loves you very much

sakurachan43: She's only a phone call away! Smile

sakurachan43: -nods-


Mak, hold on to your sister. She is a great person, and you are too. You still hold the title of coolest 13 year old I know. Rina is very strong, and she will help you be strong to. And believe it or not, your love helps her be strong as well. Hold on to that. Remember your mother for who she was and the good times you had. She will always be alive in your heart. You know, being as your sister is kinda like a sister to me, that kinda makes you a sister to me too. :Wink: Take care of yourself Mak. Hold on to that love for your mother forever. Never let it go, and stay as close to the rest of your family as you can.

My love goes to you as well.
