Thank you all. (I like the last one best, too, Mome!) Vida, I do plan to write - a lot. In fact, I just bought a leather unlined journal with a year- old bookstore gift card to write letters "to" my mother. (The card must have been waiting for this time...)
My mother was quite creative and literary. Had her family been able to afford her a college education, I'm certain she would have become an art or English teacher. It's somewhat surreal that were she still alive, she would have been one of the people with whom I would have shared these haiku. (I had the same strange thought when writing her eulogy; under different circumstances, she would have been my proof-reader.)

Diana, I am sorry for your loss! Keep writing, it will help…
I like particularly the last one. I'm sorry for your loss, Diana!
I'm so sorry about your loss. These are very moving poems.

Diana,
I can only image how wounded you are. My prayers are with you and your family...
Diana -- the loss of a parent is so hard. Your words are a beautiful tribute to her.
Thank you, everyone.
