It was not until this morning that I realized I had completely forgotten to post my Daily Haiku yesterday on August 10th. My mind has been full with other things lately and it just slipped my mind. It has only happened twice in over three years.
As it happened it would have been my late mother’s birthday and I did think about her throughout the day. Didn’t remember the Haiku, but remembered her fondly. So here is a Senryu in remembrance of her and others we have all lost along the way.
I have chosen a Swan as the image. It was her favorite bird.

Hugs, dear.
Thanks Punam. It’s been a long time but you never forget ❤️
You are welcome, Christine. Indeed, one doesn’t. ❤️
We don’t forget, and the pain lessens with time leaving good memories instead
Yes, that is so true. Thank you Sadje ☺️💕🌺
You’re welcome ☺️
Such a human thing to do. Hugs Christine.
Thanks VJ. She was lost to us a long time ago now. On the 10th this year, her birthday, it was as if she were present. 🌺❤️
Maybe she was. My Dad died in 2005, but I still feel him from time to time.
I think they come when you need them ☺️
Just after I hit send, I heard my sister’s voice say: “Don’t forget me!” lol. She died half a lifetime ago.
How amazing! It is very comforting ☺️
