Mother’s Day 2006
Mother’s Day was an emotional day for me, as was the week leading up to it. Last week I would have called and order flowers and mailed a card. Sunday, I would have called and wished her a Happy Mother’s Day and told her how much I loved her and what a great mother she was. I lost my precious mother on March 9th of this year. I am blessed with fantastic memories of a wonderful God-fearing woman. I thank God that He chose her for my mother. I love you Mom!

I remember the first Father’s day without my father. It was very hard, but also a time of thanksgiving for the man who taught me to be a man. I don’t live in fear, but at the same time I really can’t imagine what the first mother’s day will be like without my mom. I just wanted you to know that Karon and I sensed your pain, and we prayed for you (and continue to do so). Thank God for Godly women that raise us!

I still have both of my parents on this earth. I am thankful for that. I too can’t imagine the first mother or father’s day without one of them. I so enjoyed the collage you did of your mother. I know you will value those images as well as those you have stored in memory and your heart until you see her in Heaven one day. I think that is the one thing that causes the tears to well up in my eyes, I know where I am going when life is through on earth for me but when I get to Heaven I’m not sure if they will be there. I ask the question but with no reply. I encourage with no response. The seed is planted and it has been watered, whether it takes root or not, I guess I’ll find out when I go home.

Thank you both for your kind words, loving spirit and prayers. It is strange how differently I looked at Mother’s Day this year. In the past I thought about my mom and Dee. But this year I thought about motherhood. I thought about the love and sacrifice and unconditional love that most mothers exude. Man, when you have those thoughts all you can do is look up and say, “Thank you, God!”
