Heartbreaking and touching at once. I love the way you choose to look at your mom’s early passing, but it is still just so sad. This is a wonderful post, and I am sure it brought a smile to your mom in Heaven.

I can’t see very well though the tears, from reading your blog. So sorry for your loss. I have an idea for you…make your mom a cake and celebrate her life. Tell your little ones stories about Grandma on her special day. We’ve all been blessed by some special people, and it’s hard when they leave us. It might just give you a reason to look forward to March instead of dreading it.
Hugs,
Char

Oh my goodness, how this post touched my heart! I have been in tears the whole time reading this. I am so glad you found my blog and I found you! You know exactly what I am going through with the loss of my mom.
The hymn you shared was one of my mom’s favorites too. As I read those precious words, I could hear her sweet voice singing them. Oh, I miss her so much!!!!
I am so sorry for your loss too. Your mom sounds so precious. You can never replace a mother’s love. But I am trying my best to pass it on to my boys. Just like you, I see so many of my mother’s qualities in me, and I love it more than ever. I pray I can be just like her!
I hope that you can read some of my older posts about mom. If you click on “mom” in my sidebar, it takes you all the way back to August when we found out she had cancer. She passed away 7 weeks after her diagnosis. I treasured every second I had with her.
Thank you so much for sharing your heart with me!
Your new friend,
Traci

I have a golf ball size lump in my throat… what an emotional yet beautiful post you’ve written here. I feel as though I’ve walked with you, that I caught a glimpse of what a precious woman of God, your sweet mother was (IS!).

I look forward to meeting her in heaven someday.

Thanks for following Ordinary Inspirations. I so look forward to following your blog, as you Seize each day, and encourage others to do likewise!

A BIG Hug sent your way,

Traci

Thank you for this beautiful real post! I am so very sorry for the pain you must feel missing your mother. She sounds just wonderful! I am so happy you know that peace from our Lord. He is the only way to make it through times as this. Only him and how great it is you know this too. Blessings to you and Im lifting you and your family up in prayer as this time of the year brings back pain and saddness.
