I try not to ever write anything negative, but something has bothered me all week. My blogs primarily consist of running, food, and missing my mom. I have had this blog nearly two years. I pay for the site and enjoy sharing my thoughts. I would always share my blogs on Facebook so my friends …
I hate when Mother's Day approaches being a motherless daughter. This year is a double whammy to me. My mom's birthday falls on Mother's Day this year. My heart just can't take that. I was going to wait on writing a blog for that day, but figured I would get my thoughts out now and …
What is it about moms and their healing powers? My mom was known for her rocking chair. She would rock sun up to sun down, listening to her gospel music. If you're sick, climb in Moma's lap. If you need a hug, climb in Moma's lap. If you're sad, climb in Moma's lap. She just …
I write this in the late afternoon of Christmas Eve. One thing that is very much in common with my hunka hunka and I from day one is our families celebrate everything on Christmas Eve. Then Christmas Day is just the two of us to relax. I thought about waiting to write this blog tomorrow …
The title of my blog will hopefully make sense by the end. Here's a picture my dad pulled out after I lost my mom. He absolutely loves this picture. He tells me he gets up often to sit and stare at it. Many times he says he talks to my mom. The picture hangs on …
Well...I did it. I put up my tree. Before I became a motherless daughter, my mom had dementia. She never knew what day it was. When I lost her mentally, I lost all my Christmas spirit. Actually, I just lost all my spirit. Nothing was the same. Then she died. Now I can't even remind …
I like to plan ahead. Just my nature. I have my thanksgiving meal all sorted and planned out. If I could cook it now, I would. I nearly have all my Christmas bought. Tonight I started wrapping. Don't know if I'll put up a tree or not, but since I'll be taking the gifts elsewhere, …
Yesterday was my brother's birthday. Chubs passed away February 10, 2008. Every time I see a cardinal, I know it's him. Many birthdays I have now spent without him. I find solace in knowing Moma is with him now. I even found a feather while I was out walking at lunch yesterday. I know it's …
Yesterday was my birthday. Today has been two years. Two years since God called my sweet mom home. My mom died 2 hours and 50 minutes after my birthday. My dad said she held on long enough so she wouldn't pass on my actual birthday. I tend to believe it's true. Even though she didn't …
I think it’s been a little over a week since I’ve written a blog. Actually this is my first blog this month. Being a motherless daughter sucks. This time of year double sucks. And for me it sucks the most. Today is my mom's birthday. She would have been 75. Her birthday always falls on …
