I was thinking about Mom late last night and posted pictures on Facebook from Christmas Eve 2011. This year, Mom will be spending Christmas in Heaven. No more need for throw blankets to keep her warm.
A few ladies have told me that after they lost their mom, they would think of something that they wanted to tell their mom and reach for the phone or think that they needed to call her. For me, it's a little different since I haven't been able to call Mom for the past 12 years to share things with her because of her dementia. But one thing that has happened these past few weeks is that I'll be in a store and think about buying Mom something or she'd like that, etc. Then remember.....oh, that's right...she's not here anymore.
I saw a comment on Facebook last night that some lady had cut off her mother cause her mother had played favorites. That is so sad......she has a mother. I'm sure there are many broken & strained relationships between mothers and daughters. Such is life in this fallen world.
I haven't been able to take Mom out of the nursing home for the last three Christmases. We usually gave her gifts on Christmas Eve. She had "good" days those three Christmases. But....I'd much rather that she spend Christmas this year with Jesus.
I love you, Mom. Merry Christmas!
