This morning as I reviewed comments from you, my friends, I was struck by one person, who informed me, today is the anniversary of her mothers death. She went on to say how much she missed her. My own mother left this earth almost 20 years ago. I cant even believe I am saying that ! She was such an important part of my exisitance, my psyche, my well being, but most of all, my heart. The last nine years of her life she and I battled against what was thought to be a hopeless cancer. I remember working so hard to keep her spirits soaring and to encourage her buoyancy, all with humor and unfailing belief in her bravery and courage. So many of my friends would tell me, Oh Patricia, you are so kind to your mother, you do so much for her. I would answer them, you dont understand, I love being around her, I take joy in everyday she has left. At the time of her death the cancer numbers (that signal the progress of the disease) had plummeted and virtually disappeared, meaning it wasnt the cancer that took her life. Alas, she was old and had accomplished the number of her days ! What has sustained and comforted me in dealing with her loss is knowing that I gave every fiber of my being, every beat of my heart, every breath that I drew to loving, and honoring her. So even in the face of crippling grief I could still soar with my memories of her as the wind beneath my wings ! So my friend, who is commemorating the anniversary of her mothers death, my hope for you is that you can take solace and dare to celebrate the love that you surrounded her with and the honor and esteem that is the center of your regard for her. Blessings on you dear.
