My mother left this earth over 11 years ago. I still miss her especially on special occasions like Mother's Day. The following picture of my mother and me was taken in the 1960s. I still remember this special day. I made my dress and the one my mother is wearing for Mother's Day that year. My dear Hubby bought the corsages for us.
One of the things I appreciated most about my mother was her love for God, Jesus, and the church. Everyone who knew my mother loved her. She showed genuine interest in everyone she met. In fact, she used to drive me a little crazy when she would start telling me about someone she knew who I hardly knew or didn't know at all, and she would go into detail telling me all about something going on in their lives. I would think, "I don't care." "I don't even know these people." She was interested in everybody. I mean, it wasn't like she just did this once in awhile. She did it all the time. Now I wish she was here to tell me some of her stories. I have the feeling that when I see her in heaven she will have lots of stories about lots of people she has met there to tell me about. It will be a wonderful time. I totally look forward to it.

Wow, Charlotte ... now I'm wondering if our mothers weren't cut from the same bolt of (heavenly) cloth! I'm reading this and nodding along, just as if you're describing my own mother.
ReplyDeleteWeren't we so incredibly blessed?!
Thank you for giving voice to what I feel but sometimes can't put into words!
thank you for sharing your wonderful story honoring the miracle of motherhood in full bloom, as it acts justly, loves tenderly and walk humbly with our Lord. Perfectly chosen for you and you for her, eternally. blessings+

This is a wonderful tribute to your mother. I don't think, rather I know, that we never stop missing our moms - even though we know they are in a far better place.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mothers day!
What a sweet tribute to a special lady. Won't Heaven be sweet. What big footsteps they left for us to follow.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet tribute to your mom. I love the picture of the two of you in the dresses you made. You were quite a good seamstress! I remember dresses like that from the '60's. Happy Mother's day :)
