My Hero
It is almost the anniversary of the 3rd year since my mom has passed away. I think I miss her more today than I did when she passed. As all who knew her my mother was very spiritual and leaned on the Lord for all of her needs. She was witty and her smile and grin were infectious. I call her my hero because she was the most wonderful and gracious woman I knew. She never had a bad word about anyone and for all those who loved our mother Thank you for all the support you gave her in her final days.
Unfortunately none of us children were at her side when she passed. I am still not sure whether that was in Gods plan or not. Whether you were family or friend it was a hard thing to lose mom. I know that she is in a much better spot and her pain and confusion is now gone. What a wonderful day it will be when we are swept up in the clouds of glory to meet the loved ones we had to leave. God Bless each and every one.
