Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. ~Romans 12:12
I've been thinking about my Mama a lot lately. She's always on my mind but the last few weeks she's been there more and more. I love remembering the times we spent together and talking on the phone as I drove home from class or work. She was always interested in my day. It seems that there isn't anything that doesn't make me think of her. She's everywhere. She loved spring time and Easter. This is my second Easter without her and although today is a joyous day it doesn't feel the same without her here. Nothing does.
I am so thankful for the time I had with her. She was an amazing Mom. I love you more than I can say Mama and I miss you more than anything. I will see you again one day.
I hope you all had a wonderful day celebrating the resurrection of our Lord and Savior. Happy Easter!
Until next time happy blogging.

I certainly feel your pain. This is also my 2nd easter without my mom, but I went out to the cemetery today and sat with her for a while. So sorry for your loss. I hope you are comforted by having such a great mother.
ReplyDeleteThank you Gail. I'm sorry for your loss too. I'm so glad you got to visit the cemetery and sit with her for a while. I'm sure that helps. My Mama was cremated. It's what she wanted. I would have preferred a burial but it wasn't up to me. She was a terrific Mom and I take comfort in knowing I'll see her again one day. I hope you have that same comfort. Happy Easter.
DeleteLovely post, I have been feeling the same this past week. It was my mother's birthday on the 29th. I hope you had a Happy Easter and I wish you a great week ahead.
ReplyDeleteThank you Eileen. I guess the holidays are harder for everyone who has lost someone. We still celebrate Mama's bday. I hope you had a Happy Easter as well and wishing you a great week ahead also.
DeleteWhen we have said good-bye to a loved one,there will always be a spot in our hearts that is empty.My husband has been in Heaven for over two years,but I miss him as much today as I did the first day.Someday we will be reunited.
ReplyDeleteI agree Ruth. I'll see my Mama again one day too.
DeleteCindy...I feel the grief in your post, my sweet friend. I am so glad that you were blessed with a Mama that is a friend, an inspiration, and that you love so much. That is a wonderful gift to you both. She is in the presence of our Lord, and I know that she would want you to be happy as you wait to reunite with her and your other loved ones that have gone on to be with the Lord. This is a beautiful tribute; you miss her, and you will always continue to miss her. That is a natural part of losing someone you love. Even though you don't see her or talk with her, you think of her every day and miss her. That is love, my friend. That is love. The Scripture and photo you posted are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou are a sweet daughter. Hugs to you....
Love,
Jackie
Thank you Jackie for all you said. She really was an amazing Mom and I do miss her. I'm glad you liked the photo and scripture. I sent you an email tonight (Monday 4/1/13).
DeleteHugs,
Cindy
Must be so nice to have so many nice memories of your mom. : )
ReplyDeleteI've just never been the daughter my mom wished she had and we have never gotten along - sad I know.
Happyone, the memories keep me going. I miss her so much. I'm sorry to hear you and your Mom aren't very close. I pray that changes for you and her. Wishing you a wonderful week and hoping you are feeling better.

It's most difficult in those first years when celebrations and holidays are front and center. It will be 10 years since my Dad passed come this May, and I remember how hard it was when Father's Day and his birthday rolled around. It still effects me, but it does get a little easier as each year passes. Wishing you comfort and sweet memories!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. It is hard. I try and remember the time we had together and that does help. I know it's been ten years but I want to say I'm sorry for your loss. I hope you have many good memories of your Dad.
DeleteBeautiful photo and a touching post. Lois lost her mother ten years ago and we both miss her terribly still!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lowell. I will miss her just as much in ten years as I do today. I'm sorry for yours and Lois' loss. Ten years is a long time but can seem like yesterday when you miss someone I'm sure. Take care. Happy weekend.
