I love you, Mommy!

I miss you everyday. I am grateful that you are at peace and watching over us from Heaven and some times through Jacob. I look in his eyes and see you staring back at me. A little freaky and a lot comforting at the same time. Thank you Mommy!
P.S. here is a link to a post I did about my mom and the birth of Son. See Mom died on the 24th and Son was born on the 27th. We left the graveside services to go to the hospital. Anyway, go read if you have time for a long post!
hi amy
ReplyDeleteI'm glad i popped back again, and was so moved reading your post. My mum died in 2007, also cancer. It must make your son's birthday so bittersweet - these are lovely tributes. I hope today and 27th are good days for you.
I have time for a long post. What a terrible circumstance for the timing to work out that way. I am off to read.
ReplyDeleteThat was not too long. It was beautiful and touching. I feel your loss and your joy for your son at the same time. ((Hugs))
ReplyDeleteAmes, like I said before you mom was a beautiful woman and so caring. I agree with you when I look at picturs of Jacob he is her spitting image when you look at him thru the eyes. I hope you make it thru today and on Jacobs birthday. I know you will with God's help. Hugs Ames, I know this is going to be tough for you but you are strong and you will make it this year and every year. Mom
ReplyDeleteWhen you're mourning your precious mom, I need to leave you a bit of knowledge:
ReplyDeleteIt's MUCH nicer to be able to mourn the loss of a precious mom than it is to mourn the loss of, what was for me, the memories of a mom that was cruel and left me with years of pain to work through.
You have been blessed, even though the blessing has sadly passed.
Your mom is beautiful! How neat that you can see reflections of her in your son. Amazing and traumatic all at the same time you having experienced the full circle of life in her death and his birth. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThat was a beautiful story. I'm glad you have so many good memories of her and that your son gave you just enough time to say good-bye.
ReplyDeletewhat a day of mixed emotions. i am happy you still see her in him. smiles.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I'm blessed to have my parents, I think about my cousins who lost their mother a number of years ago. After four boys, she finally had a daughter. My youngest cousin wasn't married. Now he has two beautiful children. I wish my aunt could see them all. She'd be so happy.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! and I see your son when I look at her too!
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel ..both my parents have passed on. How I wish we could find a cure for cancer!!
