Mom - four years ago today at this posts exact moment I went to check on you but you were gone sofly quietly you left which was exactly your style you never wanted to bother anyone I was going to mention all the things you've missed since then but then I realized you have a much better vantage point now and you haven't missed anything at all for I am certain today just like yesterday you walk with Jesus it is simply us who are missing you instead. ~ame |
I try to do my best and live with the best advice I heard about dealing with death. Don't lessen your loved ones life by focusing so much on the one day out of all of their lives that they happen to die on. Mom lived 24, 668* days. She filled those days with loving us and she did that for 24,668 days. We all should be so lucky.
On her 18,012 literal birthday she celebrated my first marriage and when she was a spry 22,617 days old she saw me walk down the aisle again.
On her 18,957 literal birthday she celebrated Matt and Lil Martha's marriage.
On her 23,2698 literal birthday she celebrated Yeti's second marriage.
On her 18,306 literal birthday she celebrated the birth of her first grandchild, Frodo.
On her 20,132 literal birthday she celebrated the birth of her twin grandsons, Chewie and Nappy.

And this was shot on her 23,841st birthday.
Miss you Mom and the very long 1,458 days since I last got to touch your face. And I thought I was never going to make it through day one. I just can't stop crying is all. Everything is a mess without you.
