Thanksgiving is only a few days away. You will be missed this year at the table but you will be in all of our hearts. I love you momma..

Happy Mothers Day for a Special Mom.

okay lets try this again!!  my fondest memory was when our son josh and david allen had brought their school project up to moms which were pine er looktrees they planted and the boys ask grandmaw to plant them along the fence row of her front yard.  Well she did and as far as i know they are still there,  the last time she showed them to me they were so tall like a stairway leding to heavn just for her to use to overlook the beauty she created , you will never leave our hearts and thoughts



   love you  judy and randy

Last night I heard you momma. The first thing I did this morning was cry. I was angry that your clothes donated to the thrift shop before I could sort through any of them, or even my thoughts.through this difficult time. Everything in this world is so rushed, stressful and unorganized. 
I heard you momma, I heard you when you tried to speak before you passed but the words were so unclear at that time.  I heard your voice whispering through the night winds. I knew what I had to do. 
   This very morning  Bill and I together, went looking. 
We went to the thrift shop, through the clothes that were donated. The ladies in the back looked and looked. The pockets were filled, filled beyond belief of your Kleenex where I know you had cried many tears...  every pocket of every item you owned was filled.  Through many tears I searched and searched,  but no where could we find the neckless. 
I gave my number to a dear lady helping to search, and was  promised a call if it were to show up.  I described what I had seen and heard you say throughout the night visions as it was as beautiful colored birds made out of glass, that kinda twinkles in the light.
 
I also told them there was something else to watch for that was suppose to be for me. The necklace of birds, was for my sister. I was not sure what was for me.

 
  Bill and I left the thrift shop empty handed and speechless. Through silent tears, I glanced through the window as the truck was pulling away there was the lady from the thrift shop holding a coat.  I was overjoyed at the sight of it. I opened the window and she said I could look in the pockets. The pockets were empty, but my heart was lightened at the sight of the coat, for this was the one item I was not able to search. 
     Leaving the thrift shop with the thought of the coat as being the only thing we were not able to find, was heartbreaking.   Finding the coat filled me with peace and comfort at a most critical time of need, but still my heart searches....

 At home I found no peace, still I knew I much search,  and search until I find these items you need me to find. 
    Tonight Dixie suprised me when she come from you room and summoned me to join her. She went to close the closet door in your room,  the closet we share, she didn't know we shared a special closet.  When she went to close the door she noticed a sparkling necklace hanging on a blouse, beside the necklace on your blouse, I found what you wanted me to have.  I found the small beautiful shinning Brooch Cameo Pin, hanging on a blouse next to the blouse with the neckless. I know this pin is for me momma.  It was what exactly what I mentioned to Dixie the day before when she showed me a large Cameo Brooch Pin that was with your costume jewlery yesterday.  it was large bulky and dull. 
 I have no idea why I wanted or needed a Cameo Brooch Pin, or why this was so important to me, I put it in the junk pile to be donated because it was way to large and it meant nothing to me. 
    The one I am suppose to have is hanging on your blouse, small, shiny and beautiful, next to the blouse with the bird necklace. 
Thank you for thinking of me darling sweet angel princess. Until we meet again, "always smile" .... I love you, and you can continue to talk to me until the day I fly away to join you. 
I love you forever and until eternity...

PS to the heavens..I know you just moved the blouses to our special closet. They have never hung there before, I love you momma.
 

Mom you were always there when I needed you. I almost can't write through the tears,because everything is so new and I miss you already. It is hard right now, but I take peace in knowing you are in the hands of God. You loved all you're children, all thirteen of them. I hope  they all know that.  I know I can talk to you anytime, because you are looking down of us. I will always love you so much.
 

I met Toby and we talk about Patricia a little bit. Good times.
