Missing Mom

Happy Mother's Day to all you Moms!! My Mom died 2 years ago this past February, and I still miss her everyday. I have finally got to the place, where I do not cry everyday, but I do still think about her everyday. Of course, I like that because I always want to think about her. I look in the mirror and I see reflections of her in my face. I can see characteristics of Mom in me and my sisters and brothers. This brings a smile to my face, but it does not bring her back. The Holidays and Mothers day is especially hard for me. I would love to spend this day with my Mom. To see her pretty face again and hug her for real...But I cannot. I know I will see her again one day, but that does not help me today. I know not everyone has a good Mom. But to all those who do, all I can say is to enjoy every moment you can with her. Not just today, but everyday you can. I spent alot of time with my Mom and let her know she was loved. Those memories are now a great treasure to me. Take it from someone who knows, the day will come when all you have left is those memories. So make many memories and be thankful for each day you have.......

Sorry I am that you had to lose your mom. I mean, I guess we all know it's inevitable. Certainly, I've heard women who lose their children say it's just wrong. Parents are not meant to lose their children. Children are meant to lose their parents.

Still. Makes it none too easy, I'm sure. I dread the day I have to deal with that.

To be sure, though, this was a good message. I know my mother knows she is loved. I know my children let me know that I am loved.

And the beat goes on.

I know it is just part of the life circle. I'm real thankful for all the time I did have with my Mom. I try to be that way with all the people I love in my life. Enjoy all you can.It is just life, things change and now I'm the Mom. I have a great Son,who shows me everyday that I'm loved. As does my husband and alot of others. I like the quote "live well,laugh often and love much". Thanks for your comment.
