Today 19 years ago my mother went to be with The Lord. It seems hard to believe that so much time has passed. In so many ways it seems like just yesterday. I miss her very much, but, instead of bemoaning the fact that she is no longer here with me, I focus on all the blessings that I received because she was my mother. I learned long ago that your mind can only think about one thing at a time, and I choose the positive instead of the negative. I learned how to be a godly woman. (I still struggle with that one, but at least I know what one looks like!) I learned how to have unconditional love. I learned how to forgive. She was a fantastic pianist and organist, and I gained the love of music through her. Music has been such an integral part of my life and expressing myself through music has been such an important part of my life. I realize that I would not be nearly the woman I am today without her input in my life. I still fall short every day, but I have also learned perseverance from her. I have learned not to depend on myself or others but to depend on God. He is the only One who will never leave or forsake us. I know I told her very often she was on earth how much I loved her, but I want to say it once again: I love you, Mother, with all my heart, and I am so glad I was blessed with you as my mother. Im happy that you are spending eternity with Daddy and I will see you someday!
