"I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD, in the land of the living. Wait for the LORD; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the LORD."
-Psalm 27 13:14

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day, Mom. As with every Mother's Day I'm thinking about you, missing you, and wishing you were here for us to celebrate you and all you've done for us. But this year there was a new twist on this day, because it's my first Mother's Day as a Mom myself. Becoming a mom has been the most wonderful experience of my life, and it's taken a day that has been bittersweet since we lost you, and made it much more sweet than bitter. I know that you would want that. As selfless as you were, I know it wouldn't make you happy to see us sad and hurting on this day, so it actually felt good that I could be excited for Mother's Day this year. I felt in my heart that you were happy for me. But I do have to say, it would have been even better to celebrate our Mother's Day together. There will never come a day, Mother's Day or otherwise, that I don't wish you were here. I love you.
