President's Day 2007 my mother passed on to a much better life. July 23, 2010 would have been her 60th earthly birthday.
Maybe that is why I had a dream about her coming back from a vague place after a seemingly long amount of time a few nights ago. Every so often I have these dreams where she comes back to me and I never pin point from where, it's like she has been on a trip and now she is back.
I do miss my best friend and biggest fan in the whole world, but on the other hand I am so glad she is finally whole after suffering for over 20 years with a multitude of maladies. I rejoice in the fact she is able to physically do all that she wanted to do mentally.
So thankful am I that I had her the 37 years that I did, we weren't sure she was going to see me graduate high school at one point. The good Lord gave me 20 more years and I thank him daily for that gift.
She is up there with my Papa, Uncle Randy, Kaye, Teresa, Paul Harvey and Patrick Swayze so I know she is having a ball. I am sure she has checked on Esther and Tony and Charlie. She was such a loving, giving soul.
So please don't be sad on July 23rd, do something that you think she would enjoy or enjoy knowing you enjoyed doing, as she always wanted everyone around here to have a good time. As for me, I will celebrate her life on earth and her wholeness in heaven.
If you have your mother still here on earth with you, call her and tell her how much you love her for me and if you don't still have her here on earth, tell her anyway, she can still hear you!
