Yesterday marked an anniversary that some years is easier to bear than others. It was 30 years ago yesterday that The Lord brought my mother home into His arms and mercifully ended her suffering here on earth. As blessed and thankful as I was to have a place I was welcomed at for Thanksgiving, deep down inside I was still hurting a bit. But this too shall pass. Last night, as the hours ticked by, I was thinking of all the good times she and I had together. The times she would give me the look when shed see me walking yet another stray dog up our walkway. So many times I would catch her on her knees holding the current rescue, talking to them in a calm and caring voice assuring them they were safe. I miss that voice as much as I miss her laughter and smile. That voice will never leave my heart nor will the precious love she gave me. This song, Life Without You by Stevie Ray Vaughan, hits me every time right in the heart in such a bittersweet way. I can never hear it without thinking of my mother, grandmother, grandfather nor my uncle and miss them even more. Lord, assure them Im alright down here and that Im doing what I can while I can and that Ill be Home soon enough. You know I cant wait for that day! Until then, Ill let your will be done.
