10.10.12

This morning, I posted this picture of my mom on Facebook with this message: I have never thought of it as your Heavenly Birthday.  I accepted a long time ago you were no longer suffering, but now I can appreciate that you are with others who loved you too.  Does not mean I miss you any less.  This picture is from what I imagine was your happiest day on Earth, I pray that 25 years ago today was also a happy day, for you went home to God.  Miss and love you very much.  
This was the first year, I decided I would not go to Cranford....As this day began, the darkness and the rain scared me to drive to Church.   I knew I wanted to be there, before it started and I am glad I was able to do it.  Not only was I blessed to have a really sweet friend come to the service another special person showed up today as well.  She was not there for me, but I was really grateful she was there as I knew how much both of them needed to be in Church this morning and it was nice to see more people on Wednesday!
My friend and I both were in tears during the prayers as PM spoke about moms both here and in Heaven and when we stood up to do Peace we both saw the  tears and gave an extra hug... I am so grateful she was there.  
During coffee hour, I tried to interact, but it was difficult.  I still feel guilty really doing a lot especially today. I get my mom would not want me to do nothing, but I feel it sometimes.   My friend and I went for such a lovely walk after as the sun came out just before we left... it was a nice walk.  I appreciated the texts and facebook messages from everyone today.  It was really a nice reminder I am not alone.  I would have sat and did nothing most of today if my friend did not ask me to go to the mall.  I had my moments of being quiet, but really tried to treat today as any normal day.  Lunch and our talk was really nice and I look forward to going to JOB....  as I wait for their dad to come, my kids are a good reminder of the blessings I have.  I know she is watching over the three of us, May your Guardian Angel keep you safe and help you to Thankful Thursday.
