Today is the ninth anniversary of the loss of my mother. It is always a difficult day and I never expect it to get any easier. No photos today as I am at my break for lunch. Just my sweet mom's face in my header as a beautiful young woman and a small girl. She is the smaller girl in the first communion photo.
It is a bittersweet day for me because my mother passed away on the anniversary of her own mother's birth. My maternal grandmother was the very best friend any girl could ever have. I would not trade her for anyone yet she was taken from me and it was also a devastating loss.
So I want to say today that I miss my other abnd grandmother both! They were such wonderful strong women. They survived so much and raised wonderful families in the process,
I just want to say if you still have a mom or grandmother please give them a big hug for me. You never know what you have until it is taken from you.
On a hapier note the day was perfect because we close on our house tomorrow. God is good. He is very good.

Sending hugs to you Anne. Know that your sweet mother and grandmother are together and waiting for you just beyond the horizon.

Anne, First of all - big hug, as I know and understand how you feel, as I lost my very best friend who was my mum in 2000.
ReplyDeleteWith the years flashing by so rapidly now, very often, I say to myself, "I still cannot believe that Mum has been gone x years" and then I calculate the number of days and then I am amazed that I have not seen her for that length of time!
It is so hard as sometimes I want to share the fact I have two grandchildren now, but then I encourage myself saying, "I know you can see them Mum" and I smile to myself, knowing that our loss is heaven's gain. She was a christian and I know that she is peeping over the balcony of heaven and smiling.
God bless you and your sweet memories of your dear mother.
I gave my a great big hug.
ReplyDeleteAnd now I'm sending you one - mentally... can you feel it??
MMmmmmmMMMMMMMMhhhhhhhhhugggggg!
I'm a few days late but I'm sending you a big hug and a prayer anyway!
