On this day, exactly three years, my dad, my sister and I drove to Smögen to visit my mother’s grave.
My dad – 2009. I couldn’t be prouder!
The graveyard where my mother lies is peacefully situated at the end of the island, close to the sea. The air is fresh and it’s almost always windy.
We’d brought new flowers,
…and my dad knew exactly how he wanted to place them.
A beautiful stone, for a beautiful person.
And the flowers were beautiful too!
Miss you so much, Mom! It’s been more than three years but the longing for hasn’t faded over the years. Not a bit. Seems I just miss you more and more for every day that goes by.

Esther – She is so proud of you and how you live your life by the power of your love and the strength of your convictions.
Ah – such a tender tribute. Hugs to you all.
Oh, dear sweet Esther, my heart aches for you in your mourning the loss of your mother. She was such a beautiful, kind and loving person, and I know she is proud of you. I hope and pray your relationship with your father will be renewed and restored some day.
“Gone to be with Jesus” is a glorious epitaph to see on your mom’s grave stone.
(((Hugs))) and blessings to you.
Made me cry…
I know what you feel darling, my mother died 19 years ago and I can remember this day as it was yesterday. We will never forget, just learn how to live with it… Big kisses and lots of love!
Esther,
Greetings from Malaysia. Today I found a love note left by mom for all of us. I cried…. My mom passed away last year of cancer. The love note made me feel that she’s so so near once again. An hour later, I came across your article about your visit to your mom’s graveyard. It was the most beautiful thing that I had read. Thank you Esther. Your mom left a legacy, just like mine. Gone to be Jesus, but always near in our hearts.
A beautiful tribute, Esther. Where is this cemetery? It is so beautifully kept. Hugs. xx
