Tribute of love 
A year with the Lord



Dolly D’Souza

Milagres Parish, Mangalore
Who left for her eternal reward on the 3rd of December 2013 


Sometimes it makes us sad, though…. Our mother being gone. We have to remind ourselves that some birds are not meant to be caged. Their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet and wild. So we let them go, or when we open the cage to feed them they somehow fly out past us. And there is a part of ours that knows it was wrong to imprison them in the first place that rejoices, but still, the place where you lived is that much more drab and empty…. Although it’s been a year since you left for heavenly abode, There has not been a single moment that we haven’t missed you. Tried hard to fill the vacuum and emptiness that we daily feel But in vain we realize, there can never be another you. However, we know that you are in a place much better than us, reunited with dad. We know that you live eternally as no good thing can ever die.
Till we all meet again dear mum on that final day.
 We thank God for the most precious gift and with tears we say goodbye
We miss and love you and dada … Always.
May the Lord grant you eternal rest and lasting peace.
