Inspired by memories

My mother died on this day last year. My mind and heart is filled with so many memories of my mother. I am forever grateful for the time that God allowed me to spend with her just weeks before she made her transition. I see that asking God to guide me and to give me the eyes to see and the ears to hear, opened my soul to such an amazingly wonderful time with my mother.
I miss her dearly. Her laugh was contagious. Her jokes were hilarious especially when she would start laughing before she even reached the punch line. She loved to laugh at herself. I am so grateful to have acquired many of her attributes.
 Thinking about my mothers life, I now realize the depth of her sorrow. The fact that she could love and laugh with such passion has helped me in immeasurable ways. Thank you mom for being there for me in the depth of my sorrow.

Forever in my heart. I love you Mom!
