remembering Mother

an emotional time of year

 

 

Every October we go to Kiawah Island, SC for a week. My parents have gone with us and one year my mom had a kidney stone attack. My son has gone numerous times. He and his wife have gone with us. I even took mom three years ago while she was in the throes of Alzheimer. Last year we went as usual. we plan from the first of the year. Mom was doing poorly but still had some fight. On the last day there I got the call. We packed up and left. I was 30 minutes too late but I had a special last day with her prior to our trip. Tomorrow is her birthday. The last day of our trip (Oct 20) will be a year since her death. I miss her much. I know she is well. She is with our Lord, my dad, her parents and her brothers. They wait on the rest of us.

reflections after Mom's passing

 

 

Life weary

I am tired but

God hold me and I rest in his embrace if only to the end of this sentence

 

Lost, broken

In need of repair but

God can glue the pieces of my life together with his own super glue

 

Hurt, questioning

I am still confused by life but

God has the balm and answers to every pain and inquiry

 

Dark, scared

I tremble but

God is my light and protector

Remember your Mom and share some love!

Have a most blessed weekend!

mothers are Be YOU tiful!

all mothers wear out this time of year
