To all the Mom's and those who have stepped in as Mom's
Happy Mother's Day tomorrow!!!!
For those who have Mama's in Heaven:
Quoting: WhiteAngel I miss my mom, this is very sweet. Thank you!
Quoting: KickinIt That is sweet Angel
And Kickin, yes, I miss her too. Next Saturday it is two years ago since she passed away.
I still am at peace and admire her for the choice she made with the unbearable pain she was in from the cancer in her body. And even more how she handled those final moments, how she said goodbye to everyone. I remember when the doctor asked her if she had said all her goodbyes and she said: "No, I still need to say something to Jan." They guy who had only been there and took care of her for the last hours. I will never forget that and her courage to take that final step with her full sane mind and being at peace with it. I knew that it was the only right thing she could do.
She is always in our hearts and in many people's thoughts for who she was. So very light, so very caring and loving. She could be in the worst pain and yet she always found comforting words or could make people smile with one of her silly, sweet remarks.
I will never forget the funeral either. It was light, white, fully packed. She was loved by so many. I had the privilege to speak some words and share some anecdotes, things that made everyone laugh. As sad as her not being with us anymore was, that was so magical. Because everyone knew that she was exactly like that and that it will always be how we remember her and keep her close in hearts and minds.
My mom is a constant reminder to me, that how bad things are and how hurtful and unfair life is at times, there is always a light somewhere. A light that gives us courage, strength, hope. A light that tells us it is okay to express ourselves the way we want or feel. A light that tells us to get up when we fall, again and again.
We are all our own people and you don't have to be ashamed or embarrassed towards anyone for who you are and what you do or say. My mom was the most beautiful beacon when she was with us and still is now. And I am one hundred percent sure that your mom is for that for all of you too
So Happy Mother's Day to all you beautiful moms.
