| Absent from the body.....
Today at 8:45 am my Mom went to be with the Lord. Her hope is in Jesus, the forgiver of her sins, the lover of her heart. This brings a peace that passes understanding to my family. Late Tuesday night she had a massive headache that quickly revealed itself to be her brain bleeding. Myself and family went through the process of being broken and at peace as we sat by her bed at the hospital until she passed from sleep to her now permanent rest. I have some more mourning to do, but i do it with a joy for her and where she is now at and those who she is now with. This has been one really hard, growing, stretching, testing, humbling and surrendering kind of year....... and it ain't over yet. Thank you , those who think of me and carry me in prayer. My strength and my hope are hidden in God. |

Oh, MeHandle. I'm so sorry for your loss of the "earthly" part of your mom, but I do understand the joy. Sending you the biggest hugs. Please take extra-special tender care of yourself in the days ahead. Much love to you

I am sorry for your loss, happy for your joy in knowing she's with her lord. I lost my mom in February, and it's been a long and interesting path for those of us left behind.

Hey MeHandle, Sorry for your loss, maybe she can look up my mom, she's been up there 23 years. Maybe my mom can show yours around. Love to you, Coyote

My mom left me this in the paper work file cabinet i was to go through after she died. She has had it there since the year 2000. She left some other surprises but i know this one was meant for me specifically to move forward. I know that she knew i was going to have a harder time with her death then i thought i would. It is a sliver christmas ornament and it says: Treasure Every Moment Treasure every moment that you have. And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special ... special enough to spend your time with. And remember, time waits for no one. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery but today is a gift. That's why it is called the present. Just wanted to share this and honor my mother that even in her earthly death is still sharing life. love tammy |
