My Mom



Three years ago today, I lost my mother. In an instant she was taken from me and today, three years later, I am still in shock. I am still thinking about the last conversation we had, the last time I saw her, and the last time she was at my home. 


Time has not provided an easy path of adjusting to her death. And, I struggle at times without my mother's physical presence. I am working (every day) on accepting that my mother is no longer with me and attempting to make my own life happy. 





When I think of my mom, I remember her smiling and laughing. So, today I will smile a little more than usual and think of her as I look towards heaven.

    I did not know your mom, but I know you. I am sure your mother is looking down on you with a beautiful smile and her heart full of pride and joy over what a loving, smart, compassionate woman she raised!
    I can not imagine what you are dealing with or feeling, I will say a special prayer for you!
    Love,
    Amy Matthews
