What I missed most and still do since my mom passed were the daily phone calls. It's been almost 3 yrs and I still cry sometimes, but I laugh a lot more. Another thing that bothered me A LOT was I didn't dream about her until just recently. I dreamed she came back for 24 hrs and I spent all that time just hugging on her and kissing her sweet face.
Sometimes when I'm sad at night, I pray to Jesus that he will let me feel mom's presence. And then I can actually feel her arms around me and I fall asleep so peacefully.
You know, life is like a ship. You can see it till it moves out of site over the horizon. It's really not gone. You just can't see it anymore. And though you had to say goodbye, all her relatives, friends and Jesus are saying " Here she comes" as that ship comes over the horizon on the other shore. She's still there, just waiting on you. But, as she lived her life, you need to live your life in a way that will make her proud, because she's watching over you. You needed her when she was here, and there are others who need you. Dedicate the rest of your life in memory of all she taught you. And know that the grieving is for a season. Joy WILL come in the morning. |
