My mom left yesterday and I'm just a little sad. A month seems like a long time, but no time is ever enough with my mom. The time flew by and the house seems empty now. It didn't really hit me that she was gone until I got home yesterday and I saw the chair she sets in with the computer still set up for her. Even though there were many days we would sit here in comfortable silence, the house seemed oddly quiet.
We did a lot of fun things; wine tasting, bbq, happy hours, a concert, shopping, dinners with friends, etc. But, the best times were the quality times together just talking or watching old videos. My mom is my very best friend in the whole world. I can talk to her about anything and know she will ALWAYS be there for me. There were times while she was here that I got a little frustrated with her and maybe snapped at her a little bit. When I went in her room yesterday, I wished I could take back all of those times I snapped at her. I don't know when I will get to see her again and I should have been cherishing the moments we got to spend with each other instead of getting frustrated. I'm sorry, Mom!
A mother's love really is unconditional and I'm so happy that God chose her to be my mom!
I love you, Mom! I can't wait to see you again!
I know exactly how you feel! I feel the same way about my mama! So sorry she is gone dear! But its wonderful you got a month with her!!
ReplyDeleteI love this.
ReplyDeleteI love that your mother is your best friend, what a gift. I know you've had a tender go with her and her health.. ya'll spent a lot of time together, frustration is normal, don't beat yourself up.
bless your momma, and your heart that misses her.
i agree with shay. love this.
ReplyDeletei don't think theres a relationship that could be more important than one of a woman and her mother.
i miss her for you!
All the miles in the world but your heart is still with hers. I say we make her move dang it
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had a good time. I often snap at my mom on the phone and then feel bad later. Time is so fleeting and you're right, nothing replaces a Mom.
ReplyDeleteCherish the good memories you have with your mom. She will be back!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you got to spend this month with your mom...what a special treat you'll never forget!!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it's been a whole month!!! Where has the time gone???? You ladies def lived it up while she was here! I love you!!! Stay strong!! :)
ReplyDeleteyou had me at wine tasting and bbq. this is pretty much my life. and we have some of the best bbq around. sooooo, come visit me!!
ReplyDeleteawwww, I feel the same way about my momma. And sometimes I have moments of being snappy too so I totally get you. Hope you are adjusting to life without moms again. Man, you guys lived it up!
ReplyDeletewell..once again, i didn't see this until just now...what a precious blog! so sweet! in all fairness i have to say i really didn't notice you "snapping" at me (well..maybe once or twice..ha!) i guess i just overlooked it, simply because i was just so happy to be with you! i don't mean to frustrate you, just remember momma is getting older now, and sometimes will be slow and much like an unruly child...lol...i had a wonderful time with you, no riches or gifts could ever mean as much to me as that time...like you said, there is never enough time..but i am grateful for what i had...it was the best month i have had since the last time i came to see you....it wouldn't have mattered if we had ever even left the house, all i wanted was to be with you! i miss you so very much! thank you for everything, most of all, being my best friend...God truly blessed me with you for a daughter!
ReplyDeletei love you more than anything in the whole world!
Momma
