some know the pain

Heard this song the other day.

Sissy's Song. Alan Jackson.

Made me realize that others do share the same pain. For now, I have to take it one day at a time. Thank you Lord for making things a bit easier by blessing my life. I know that Mom is safe now. And happy. And most of all- she can breathe. "Praise the Lord my mother can breathe and she has no pain."

Home

After two wonderful months of being abroad, I am glad to be home. I must admit though, being in the house without Mom is very hard. It is quite a reality shock. I miss her. Sometimes I look in a direction out of habit to talk to her, and then remember that she is not there. After returning from Spain, pulling into the drive and not seeing her beautiful smiling face at the door was very difficult. I lost it. Cried in the drive for an hour. I couldn't bring myself to walk into the house.

Sometimes while I was in Spain, I thought about calling her to tell her about all the amazing things that were happening... and then I remembered- oh yeah. She is with me. But I can't call her.

Mom I miss you more than anyone could ever imagine. But I am happy that you are walking with Jesus. I love you Mom. I love you.
