Being a Mother, without a Mother.
So, with Mother's Day a few days away, I cannot help but wonder what it would be like to have my Mom here, to be able to write her a nice card and to send her a bouquet of flowers and find the perfect gift that I know she would love . S he would open it, her eyes would tear up and she would thank me at least a dozen times. But I can't, and won't ever be able to do that again..... You see, my Mom passed away 8 years ago, June. It was sudden, we were not prepared, and even now, it's difficult to think about. I am still not ready to let go and it still hurts. It has changed me as a person to lose my Mom when I need her the most. My kids were just babies, and not having your Mom there to guide you through that is difficult. There are many times when I need advice or guidance and I w ill reach for the phone to call her, but there is no number to Heaven. This Sunday, my kids and Husband will spend the day making me feel special, and I absolutely love every secon
