I can hardly believe that its been 8 years since we lost my mom. Eight short but incredibly long years ago. I still remember the day like I just lived it. Then I think of everything that has happened in those eight years and it amazes me how quickly it has gone by. I toured England and Scotland, met the man of my dreams, had a fairy tale wedding, ran a flower shop, then closed one. I became a mom too. All of those moments are bitter sweet. Wishing my mom had been there to be a part of them but so very thankful that she has gone on to a better place. What an amazing example of a mom I had. If I can teach Mattie just a fraction of what she taught me, I will count myself a good mom too. Blessed beyond measure that I had her in my life for 26 wonderful years.

I am sorry you don't have your mom, but you are doing a great job with Mattie. Have a blessed day.
Wooo doggies, I didn't go to your blog expecting to cry today. :) She WAS a wonderful woman! I just adore this picture of the two of you, it really captures your relationship perfectly. Love you, friend.
What a perfect post. I cannot imagine what it is like, but I do know that your mom left a legacy in you of a servant of Christ! How proud your Momma would have been of all that you do serving Christ! I pray that the old adage is true about time easing the pain. Prayers for blessings and comfort for you this week!
