Mother's Day
This is a time that I am filled with a lot of different emotions. I'm much better now but it has been a long journey getting to this point.
There was a time not long ago when I would have been typing this post with tears in my eyes but I praise God that I am past that point, today anyway. I still have my days but for the most part I'm good with things now.
You see, probably like many of you here in the community, my mother has already punched her ticket into heaven. It has now been 25 years since I lost her. Time moves on for sure but that empty space in my heart remains and during this time, I'm especially reminded of it.
It is now a day of fond remembrance for me. I can think back and smile and laugh (my mom was so silly). My tears are now more of an appreciation of what she means to me still to this day but they are grateful tears.
I just wanted to take a moment to encourage those who have recently lost their mom. All is not lost and it does get better. She never truly leaves you and that piece of her that you carry in your heart is your assurance that your mother will always live on through you. The physical connection may be gone but the spiritual and emotional connection remains.
For those who still have your mother, please realize that it is such a blessing to still have her here with you. Celebrate this time with her and let her know that you love an appreciate her.
And to those mother's here in the community, thank you for your contribution to the world. You have had the most important job in the world and I know that you are doing great.
Enjoy your day and know that YOU ARE LOVED!
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

Heartfelt post. My mother died several years ago and I too think back about what a wonderful person she was. I guess the most comforting thing is, I will see her again.
Hi Darlene,
Yes, I believe we will see our loved ones again also. That hope is a comforting thought when you have those rough days. Be blessed!
Wonderful post full of love.
We must always celebrate the lives of people
we have loved and still love and who have
gone to heaven.
Happy Mother's Day to all Moms whether they
are on earth or in Mommy's Paradise!
Have a wonderful day!

Hi Ingrid,
I love what you said about Mommy's Paradise. That's a very nice thought. Mothers touch our lives like no one else.
Have a great day whether you are a mother, sister, aunt or a great friend to a child. It all counts!
Cherish the memories and time will heal the hurt. I am grateful to still have my mother around and I know this time is not as happy for many who lost their moms. Just want to take the opportunity to encourage all those who have lost their mothers to be strong. And wishing all the mothers A Happy Mother’s Day!.

Thanks Horace,
I lost my Mom several years ago as well. Even though I enjoy spending time with my Son on Mother’s Day, it’s not the same without my own Mom.
