Mother

Early on in this journey, a dear friend remarked that it must be hard not to have my Mother to share her understanding of my feelings and fear’s about what is going on. Little girls share their hearts with their mothers in a way that not only brings understanding but comfort and love as well. It is true, not having my mother to hold my hand during this process does bring sadness.

We shared final goodbyes to Mother on Sunday, with a delightful reception filled with family and friends, who came to share stories, laughter, and love in her honor. She would have loved the day! 

I have been blessed with many supportive women who have lifted me up along my journey in life. Not only for now but along the tales of time. I am fortunate to have my big sister, who I know would move mountains to ensure my safety and care. I have been blessed by cherished women who have taught, nurtured, mentored, and loved me along the way. These are the arms and love that surround me now and my heart trusts that Mother is resting her hand upon shoulders of those whose arms comfort me and is touching these hearts in love. 

My heart aches for you daily and I will miss you always. I am who you raised me to be and I know whose I am. This season will pass, life will go on, and as it does I trust you and daddy will continue to bless me with your forever love and I take great comfort in this. ❤️ Rest easy now, precious, you have done well.

Wonder.... if... the day has come... or when it does... will I be one of those that is taken... or will I be left behind with the knowledge that... i knew and yet... it is easy to look into the eye of this day and wonder... i see so clearly the light that is lining the path... the way that only leads to where all I've ever dreamed would be... would actually be... i have spent my day with a firm belief that the one who will come is the one who knew where I would be on that moment of return and choose to let me be one of those who is here to be the guide and light to a wounded and sick hearted world... is this the place I will be left to endure... is this the path that has been designed for my feet to trod... will my place be reserved for something better... for work yet to be done... will I hold a truth... to share with those who... while I knew the way I yet chose to live a life of faith blinded by life...

Well this is the end of the first day of possibly many or even a few... i have tried to remain positive, consistent, hard, just... and right this moment I do not know how I feel... what I should feel... this is truly a place where I knew I was and yet decided to deny... the disease infests, inhabits,  enables the distrust to enter behind a steady fast faith... no matter how distant the goal seems to be... the nearer desire... to want to be relived of a heaviness that can only be explained by the action of others... who have been placed in an environment of trust... misfortune... resort... lack of choice... so to end this day in a place of even more uncertainty... no different from the recent past... i wonder outloud... is this really what you had in mind for me... again...

Interesting observation today... i attribute it to society and our lack of patience... our need for speed... lack of consideration... a commodity of time... and while these all mean something of the same... here i will begin this diatribe... i was waiting at the stop light today... the scene played out much like this... the cross traffic to which I was waiting had been brought to a halt due to 3 senior aged women...waiting patiently for the walk icon to flash on the stop light... one gentle spirit was with a walker... this was during a busy time of day and frankly on a corner that were you to step off to soon...at this particular corner of town those who are approaching tend to do so with speed... to which you could easily be sent to your reward... these were and had been waiting patiently for the icon signal to change from hand to walk signal... to which upon progression thru the walk lane... albeit a slow and steady pace... they were met with again the held up hand... traffic all...
