I had a wonderful visit with my beautiful mom yesterday. We sat in her room and visited and talked about life. About how blessed we are and how quickly life passes. Before I left, I hugged her goodbye, and when I returned home, I immediately looked at this...
My mom~ on her Confirmation
I looked at that beautiful young woman and thought of all that awaited her: happiness, joy, laughter, sadness, pain, loss, and love. Always love. I thought about how this young woman, my mom, faces every single circumstance in her life with happiness and hope. And I knew she was right about the song she always sings that ends with the line, "... Life is but a dream."
Happy Wednesday, my friends.
Billie Jo
Such a sweet post.

ReplyDeleteHi. I'm so happy you were able to spend time with your mom yesterday - she sounds like a really special lady. This is such a sweet post! Hope you are having a great day!
ReplyDeleteThat's so sweet. Your mother sounds like such a blessing. You are very fortunate, and in return, you can be that very same thing for your own children.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great tribute to your mom. This is why you are such a wonderful person. I am sure her strong faith has something to do with it.
ReplyDeleteOk, so now I'm wiping tears away. You are all such beautiful strong women that give such light to this world. Grateful to know you Friend. Thank you for sharing this. (sending hugs on the wind to you all!) xo
ReplyDeleteHi Billie Jo~ What a touching post, your mom is an amazing woman, I have always admired her and I think she has the sweetest smile! She is beautiful, you look so much like her! I love that song as well, it always makes me want to dance. Now I see where you get your positive attitude, she must have been such a fun mom. Hugs to you and your mom, Barb
ReplyDeleteGod bless you and your mom. It is always hard to see our parents aging and changing. I am sure my kids feel the same way about me--time marching on in my life and changing what I do and don't do. Your mom is beautiful...just like you. xo Diana
