      Letters to Mum

      Mar 24, 2021

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan

      Being an adult is… Being constantly aware that death is simultaneously very close and very far away, so each day is a rush to slow down so that you can get enough energy from stillness to speed up and get going. What are you worried about currently?

      Poetry by

      Dr. Jo-Ann Dixon

      (My Mother)

      Have You Ever Tasted a Snowflake?

      So Did I Tell You I Have a Daughter?

      Always Remember

      All thanks and praises to God

      Our poem shall never end

      Even as we lose strength

      Our rhymes will forever be strong

      Even if our pens run out

      Our words will continue the race

      Never slowing down

      Continually increasing their pace

      For as long as there are things to learn

      We will teach each other

      And when we are done

      And there is nothing left to discover

      We will go back and relive it all

      Just for the memories

      My Testimony

      My mother called me her miracle because I was the only girl that survived

      My first grade teacher was a dance teacher too

      She forced me on that stage when I was 6 yrs old and I have been dancing ever since

      Praise dancing at my 6th grade graduation

      They said saying Jesus was against the rules

      Attempting to take the savior out of the schools

      They changed the words to My life is in your hands

      With knowledge I can make it

      With courage I can stand

      My life is in good hands

      I prayed my heart out and dance before my God

      The praises filled Blaine Auditorium, people were dancing and crying

      He answered my prayer

      God show them you, instead of me

      Never forget the day my doctor told me I had a stress fracture in my back

      Had to quit the step team, use the elevator at school and even had a special book bag

      He said I shouldn’t dance anymore

      Wearing back patches and braces everyday

      Getting help from my mom to do everyday activities

      (Taking a bath, shower, going to the bathroom, walking up the steps even getting in the bed)

      I asked God to allow me to dance for him without pain

      He still keeps his promise, seven years later

      God I honor you!

      One day I decided to take a long walk in a place that I have never been before

      I laid in the street waiting for a car to take me out of my misery

      The note in my pocket read Bury me next to my grandmother

      The sun blinded me, right in my face

      As if God was looking right at me

      I felt a hand touch me and reach to help me up

      Still don’t know who that person was or how I got home

      Safe to say that was the hand of God and he guided me home

      My mother read poetry to me, gave me a journal at a very young age

      Three important lessons she taught me

      1. Never forget God, always put him first.

      2. Always be yourself, and strive to be a
