Two years ago on January 4th. My best friend, the one who made me laugh, the one who brought me into this world and always loved me no matter what, died of complications from surgery and an infection. My Mother was the most kind, caring, loving, giving gentle soul anyone could have ever met in their life. Her child like view of the world was always visible, but yet she managed to raise 8 children, loved 17 grand children and 4 great grandchildren. For a simple woman who never gave much to being rich, having the finest china or linens, she lived a golden life of love and wonder. I have many lessons about life from my father, many of which I use on a daily basis. But it was the unconditional love, ability to see the good in anyone, despite being treated poorly by many. The silliness of a game, the fun of a riddle and always being willing to help without question, makes me who I am today. I joke about my talking too much and many times not making sense, and say jokinly I am my mothers son. But deep down inside, its the truth and the sparkle that I choose to share with others because I can. As I sit here tonight, my house is quiet. There is another family member in the very same hospital my mother died in and my mind is occupied with what 2015 will bring for us from that same place. I miss my Mother on a daily basis. I still have not removed her cell number from my phone, my father kept it after she died and when he died in August, I just couldnt remove it. My heart is broken at the emptiness that only my Mom could fill. I doubt anyone or anything will ever be able to replace that love. It is the wisdom now that I carry with me to keep moving forward and share the love that was given me. I am sharing a music video that I feel fits my Mom...she had her own world and her own vision of life and love. I miss you Mom very much. youtu.be/2rd8VktT8xY
