Mother's Day has been bittersweet since losing my Mom in 2009. It has been difficult to go in to stores and to see all the beautiful floral displays and to try and help my husband pick out a card for his Mom. I miss my Mom so much but on the other hand, I feel so blessed to be a Mom. My life changed forever the day my daughter was born 25 years ago. I have laughed, cried, worried and rejoiced right along with her as she makes her way through this life. I am grateful that God allowed me to be a Mother and I can only hope that my Daughter feels the same way about me that I felt about my Mother - I would consider that the greatest Mother's Day gift I could receive! Happy Mother's Day! Hugs & Blessings, Janice
The empty spot in my heart when my mum dies will always be there. Although I can count my blessings that I had the best mum, and wonderful memories.
ReplyDeleteHopefully I will create memories for my daughters and son.

There certainly is an empty spot, Kay, but I am very grateful for the wonderful memories and for the reminders of her that seem to pop up just when I need them most! I am sure you are creating wonderful memories for your daughters and son, too. Happy Mother's Day to you! xxxx
