Patch Adams to his Momma
Momma, I’m just old and going blind. You do not understand for I am not the same, especially when you call for me and I don’t come running. I cannot see you or even hear you call my name.
Momma, I am very sick, sad and lost. Please let me rest beside you just to know you are with me and love me at any cost.
Momma, please kiss my cheeks at night and rub my paws, for I can feel your heartbeat and feel your tears falling upon my face.
Momma, please forgive me for all my flaws for I’ve always been your baby wanting your applause.
Momma, I’ve always tried to protect you in your time of need without any haste. Because you are my Momma and there wasn’t time to waste.
Momma, please remember all the wonderful memories we’ve had together. Like our long walks. And I loved riding on the tool box of our old blue Ford truck with me falling off and rolling into the creek when the water was all but a foot deep.
Momma, remember when you rescued my sister, Katie? I was very upset and jealous. I just didn’t understand. Yet I do now because she had been abused. You made her feel safe and we turned out to be the best of friends. And we loved playing chase around your feet.
Momma, I know you are sad and don’t want me to leave you. Just be happy. Don’t grieve for me for there is no need. The best of my days are gone and I don’t want to be alone, please don’t let me suffer. I know you have been praying for God to give us a little more time together. When my time comes near, hold me tight and love me so I won’t be in fear.
Momma, please bury me at our Rainbow Bridge and just promise to come see me so that I know you haven’t forgotten. I will always be waiting for you. And when I hear you calling out my name I will come running because I will know it’s you, my Momma…
Momma, always remember I will never really leave you. When you hear certain songs, birds singing or even the wind blowing through the trees. It may be a snowflake that lands on your cheek or a child’s laughter. Just think of me. I will be near.
Sincerely with all of my love,
Your baby boy,
~Patch Adams
