Happy Mother's Day

Tomorrow Mother’s Day is celebrated in many countries in our small world.  This year is my first Mother’s Day without my mom, and though I am feeling melancholy about her not being here with me,  I know she’s spending Mother’s Day in the greatest place she could have ever imagined.  I look forward to the day we celebrate again together. 

I heard this song at our church’s annual Women’s Tea last Saturday.  As the speaker & her son (via video feed) began to sing, the lyrics pierced my soul.  When they sang the lyrics- “I’m going to walk with my granddaddy…” - I sat there picturing my mom.  I know how much she loved her grandfather and what a role model he was to her growing up.  

I felt led to share this song for her.  As a reminder to my siblings and others who mourn her loss, that it is only “our” loss that we mourn.  She’s experiencing a joy that we cannot even imagine and can only hope to achieve some day. 

Here’s to you Mom.  Happy Mother’s Day!
