I Needed My Mom

I was kind of down yesterday. We are both out of work and have gotten behind on some bills, so we are having some major financial problems. This has created a lot of stress, as I'm sure you can imagine. Even though we are definitely trusting God to get us through this, as He has always done, it does hit me now and then, and I get a little down. When this happened yesterday, I stopped and had a mini pity party.

Right about then, I noticed Soleil Moonfrye's question of the day, at Twitter. She asked what living person and what person who had passed away we would want to have dinner with. My mom died, way too young, several years ago, and she was the obvious choice for the second part of the question.

I know my mom is in a wonderful place now. If I were not confident about that, it would kill me for her to be gone. I would never begrudge her the joys of spending her time with Jesus and the angels, and I look forward to doing that myself someday. But I do have those days, like yesterday, when I really need my mom.

  1. I haven't come onto your blog enough I guess. So now reading this it brings tears to my eyes, because I know how you feel. There are so many things I wish I could share with her. Mostly the kids & watching them grow up. I know how special Andrew was to her, and to have seen Hannah I think she would have been so happy. Sometimes I even have dreams that her & I are walking through the grocery store together, just comparing bread prices and browsing through coupons. I definitely miss her too.

  2. I have dreams like that too, where we are just doing the everyday kind of things we did. I always wake up from those dreams happy. :)
