Memories

Yesterday I went to Arkansas to help my sister to go through Mom's things. Very tough!!!
It made it more real that she is gone. My brother had already took some pics off the wall. I may be crazy but it breaks my heart to see things come off the walls. Mom and Dad had pics of us kids and grandkids all over the walls. It was comforting to walk in the house and see the family pics and this one picture of Jesus that hangs over the fireplace. This picture was a gift my dad gave my mom from a dollar store when My older Brother Danny died. He was 18 months old when he was accidently ran over by my Mom. Mom was very strong in her faith and that picture was a reminder to me that Jesus is where her strength came from. That picture is a cherish heirloom that my Dad may have paid 10 dollars for in the 50's. My parents lived through many terrible things in their lifetime but they never let us kids dwell on the past.

I feel so alone without my Mom.

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my mom when I was a little girl, but every loss is unique, isn't it? My prayers are with you and your family - I know your Mom and Dad are with you in spirit!
Hugs,
