Happy Mother's Day, Mom!

For those of you who do not know, my mom passed away in October.
This will be my first Mother's Day without her.....

I've been thinking about this post for a long time. Trying to figure out
what to say.... how to word it right.....combine it with another post I had.
I hope it will all make sense. And that it will cause you to think.....

We live in such a technological age that we've lost that personal touch.
Do you remember the old phone advertisement "Reach out and touch
someone"? When you would actually make a phone call to keep in touch.
Don't get me wrong, texting is great when you need to get an answer quick.
Or you just want to say I'm thinking about you.
But how many times did you read a text and wonder if the one who sent
it was angry at you? It is so easy to read into a text.....

Can I just say here that nothing takes the place of hearing a voice on the
other end of the line? There's something personal about that. You can tell
a person cares from the tone of their voice. You can hear a laugh or better
yet, laugh together! I can still hear my mom's voice on the other end of the
line..... and I hope I never forget the sound of it.

My mom was not perfect, but she was my mom. I remember when my
grandma (her mom) passed away. My mom said, there is no one that can
take the place of your mom.....Now I know....she was right. It has been
six months but I still find myself waking up sobbing sometimes. I thought
time would make it better, but it sometimes seems to get harder. Don't get
me wrong, God is a great Comforter and I know someday I will see my
mom again. But I still miss her ~ here and now....

So here's to you Mom! I hope you enjoy your day Up There with your mom!
I love you! And I miss you so much!
