About a week ago I was making room for a new little bear that I added to my hug ... as I was moving things around, I picked up a wee bear that my Sister and Mom collaborated on to make for me in 2004. The wee bear sat on top of a very sweet little Longaberger basket with a lid. I have removed the bear to dust the lid over the years, and even moved the basket from place to place but have not looked INSIDE the basket since it was given to me! Well, last week as I was moving the basket and I heard something jiggle inside, I opened it up and found this note:
My beautiful Mom left this earth on Christmas Eve 2009. I miss her so very much and I so needed this! I love you, Mom. Thank you for being here.
Aww, what a lovely note to have found (((((HUGS)))))
ReplyDeleteI thought so too, Katy! I could almost feel her hug from Heaven! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing.... so sweet.
ReplyDeleteYou were to find it now at a time you need a hug! That is something you will never forget.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Linda
I think so, too, Heidi! Linda, I agree wholeheartedly that I needed to find the note now and that's why I didn't even know it was in the basket for over 7 years! It was the only thing in the basket! It makes me smile every time I think about it! xoxo
ReplyDeleteMy grandfather left this earth in August of 2008. Miss him terribly but I still feel him here at times.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for your loss, Jennifer. It's comforting to feel their presence - I am grateful God allows us that joy! xoxo
ReplyDeleteWhat a comfort to get a note from your mom. Praying that God will fill that empty space with joy.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Marti, I do feel that is His plan ;O) xoxo
ReplyDeleteHow special to read that note again. Keep it in the little box and read it every time you need to feel close to your mum.
