I've decided to use some of this blog as a sort of outlet for some of my "mom" grief. I have decided to call these ramblings or reflections.... mom moments. Just trying to forewarn those of you who find this uninteresting or even down. :)
Days after my mom passed away, my wonderful friends and family surprised me with a Memory Garden. This is a picture I took to show everyone its beauty but the picture does not do the corner of my yard justice. I am so excited to watch it bloom and grow. They do such a great job taking care of me and making me feel so special with all they do for me. I am so blessed to have every one of them. I just hope someday I can do the same for them. Thank you...
This is on my parents front porch right now. Mom got this stepping stone years ago and had it out front for awhile. The day before she passed away we found it and put it back out front. I love what the stone says. I feel like I truly need to live by these words. I will continue to trust God to get me through this. I look up because that is where I know I can find mom sitting next to Jesus in Heaven looking down on us and smiling. If only I could catch a glimpse of her beautiful face. Everyday I put a smile back on my face because that is what we are supposed to do. Luckily, all I have to do is look at my kids and I am reminded of what a blessing it is to have life and I am thankful. I will Smile, Look Up, and Trust... thanks mom
i must say . . . after your mom's service, i was inspired to weed my garden and get my flower beds ready for the spring.
