I can’t help but think that I was driving home a year ago. That at about 11:00, Jessica called me, telling me Mom sounded funny.
That 10 minutes later, as I entered her apartment, I knew she was gone.
So many firsts, and the hardest ones were Christmas and her birthday, just 2 weeks ago. We never know, do we, how short our time might be?
Many people ask me what I’m doing for Mother’s Day. My beautiful daughters will make me a wonderful, yummy lunch and lemon meringue pie….which my mom also loved.
And I will remember her, and try to write down what I remember that isn’t written down already, and try to live by a quote I read by Crystal Paine:
“Don’t let another priceless moment slip through your fingers because
you are ‘too busy’. While you have the time, take the time.”
I miss her….her messages are still on my answering machine. And I wear her ring nearly every time I leave the house.
God has been so good, to encourage my heart (like sending cards from Heaven!) , giving me a Scripture or quote to comfort me, and to hold me when I cry.
And the greatest Mother’s Day gift I could receive, is if you would read this post from a year ago, and make time for your mom.
Please do.
You’ll be so very glad you did.
HUGS to you and your mom, from me.
