INSPIRASUNS

Yesterday was an anniversary. It’s hard to believe that my mom has been gone for 28 years now. It’s interesting how your inner self knows when these types of anniversaries come. You may not actively be aware of the date, but inside you are. Then, when you say the date out loud, you instantly remember all the events of the day so long ago.

I miss her every day, and yes there are still those times when I want to pick up the phone and talk to her. She had a way about her, a quiet yet strong presence wherever she was. She was tiny, but she was so strong in so many ways. Mom was filled with not only love but common sense. She was scrappy at times, (because she was so small), and she could hold her own with any of the big burly truckers that used to step into her office. I smile now remembering her 🙂 .

Yesterday afternoon, our youngest posted a memory of her grandmother. She mentioned that my mom was the reason for our youngest’s passion for pizza rolls. Yes, my mom used to love these, and she made sure both our daughters did, too. Oh, how I recall making trips to the store for Mom, and yep, those were always on the list!

Time does change the pain of loss. We learn to find comfort in the memories, to laugh, and find joy in the time spent together. And…we look forward to seeing those loved ones again when we are all reunited. As I read my daughter’s post yesterday, I shared her feelings, about missing mom. But…I jokingly said, “Maybe there will be pizza rolls in Heaven”. You just never know do ya.

The Lord blesses us with time with family and friends, however short it may be sometimes. He gives us the promise of eternal life to those who choose Him. So, yes, I know that I’ll be reunited with Mom, Dad and so many others who have gone before. I don’t know that I’ll look for the pizza rolls, but, I won’t be surprised to find them there 🙂 .

Have a good day my friends.

1 John 2:25
And this is the promise that He made to us – eternal life.
