One More Day

Ever had an emotional breakdown?  Of course you have.  If you have lost a parent, you know that these things happen and it doesn't take much for the dam to break.  After dropping my kiddos off at school, I was listening to my favorite Christian radio station and in honor of Mother's Day, they were having listeners call in and share a special memory of their mom.   My mind began to dream of the possibility of having one more day with my mom.

If I had one more day with my mom I would walk the path from my yard to hers (as I did everyday while she was here) and tell her....

Thank you for loving me when I was so hard to love!

Thank you for showing me Christ's love and how to love and serve others!

Thank you for teaching me good work ethics and not to expect everything be handed to me and to work hard!

It's hard to sit back and watch my kids heart break.  Did you cry when I cried?

Marriage is the hardest thing I have ever done but the best thing that has ever happened to me...and
You would be proud of the boy you thought was so goofy- he has grown into a mighty man of God-(but still goofy).

Mama, you spoiled Daddy! I am not responsible for any decisions he makes.  I looked around at a visitation for a friends mom who passed away and he had on a white shirt, (you know his favorite ones with the front left pocket and the elastic waist), and there were food stains/droppings down the front.  Sorry! 

Let me take you to visit all of your grandchildren , they are so beautiful and full of life!


This is a cruel world we live in - I am so glad you don't have to witness it!

Until we meet again...Happy Mother's Day!  I Love You!
