A Mother's love ~

A month after you died came Mother's Day and I was looking for a Frame to put a picture of us in it. I walked into Pottery Barn and to my surprise there was a frame that read, A mother's love is forever. Is was the perfect frame with the perfect words. I ended up buying three of them. I bought one for Christina, Mom Close and myself. Here is the picture that sits in my Frame in my living room and in Mom Close's kitchen:

A Mother's Love is forever. What does this truly mean? What I hope and think is that even when Mother's are gone and are no longer with us, their love remains in our hearts forever. I haven't read a lot of books about Heaven experiences, except for when I was on Vacation in St. John recently and read, 90 minutes in Heaven. It was a good book and I pray this guys' experience is truthful because its seems like a glorious place. He talked of beautiful houses, smiling faces, warm welcomes from his Family that had passed, the sounds of Angels flapping their wings and this beautiful music constantly playing in the background. The thing I didn't like is he said people in Heaven do not know who's missing but they know who's coming. If they don't know who's missing then how can you watch down on us or come on our journeys? Again, the author was only there for 90 minutes so perhaps he wasn't there long enough to get the full effect.

Of course I wouldn't want you & Dad missing us and being sad about what happened and watching us deal with this grief, but I do hope you are able to see glimpses of us and remember certain things and see us in years to come. I would hope that the way you passed has been eliminated from your memory or that you have forgiven and accepted.

Wherever you are, I just know I will do everything in my power for the rest of my life, to get there too, when my time is up.

And since A Mother's love is forever, I hope with all of my heart that your Mother's greeted you as you entered your new place in life. Grandma O. and Grandma G. both also died much too young. All of my lovely ladies are gone, but the impact they left was strong. None of them lived "easy" or long lives but they gave and received a lot of love.

Missing you and Dad more then you will ever know, and your Mothers are missed too.

Your daughter
