Since my mom has already passed out of this life and on to the next, it is always a reminder to me that another year has past. I always take the time to reflect on the past year, what events have unfolded and sort of create a check list on all the things that my mom has missed out on, all the times I wish I could have talked to her and sit and reflect at what I have learned and how I have grown.
Jodi expressed it wonderfully on facebook today...If flowers grow in heaven Lord, then pick a bunch for me, place them in my Mom's arms and tell her they're from me. Tell her that I love and miss her with all my heart, and when she turns to smile, place a kiss on her cheek and hold her for a while. Happy Mother's Day Mom, I miss you so so much! xoxo's
Friday morning, I bought a beautiful pot of yellow mums. They were some of my mom's favorite flowers, cheerful and full of happiness. I took them to work on Friday and intended to head to the cemetery after I picked Hayden up from school. I couldn't do it. Those darn flowers had brought me so much happiness that I found myself just overwhelmed with joy. After calling Jodi, we decided the flowers would be much more loved and I would spend more time remembering my mom with the flowers on my counter than on the cemetery floor. Best thing... they were Sunflower Sue brand and each time I look at them I smile and tell Hayden a story about my mom. It has been wonderful!
I am so thankful that I have a knowledge of the Plan of Salvation and that I WILL see my mom again. I am so grateful for the knowledge I have of eternal families. I am so thankful for a kind, loving and caring Father in Heaven that prepared and implemented such an incredible plan that this life isn't the end. And, although I miss my mom (some days oh so much). The knowledge, the absolute definite knowledge, that I will see her again, hug her and be able to express my gratitude and love for her, carries me through and I feel so very blessed.
