As I sit and have my cup of coffee with Jesus I was thinking about my mother. It was seven years ago today that my mother passed away. My father had passed away seven months before her. It was during the Easter vigil I was given a note that my mom had passed. I was blessed to have my parents live with me the last two years of their lives and I learned a lot from both of them.
So today is about remembering and though there is a sadness I can’t help but be filled with joy of a life well lived. My mother spoke her mind, she challenged me, and she loved me! I think it’s good for all of us to remember and celebrate. So today is going to be a wonderful day remembering my mother who had a tremendous impact in my life.
If you still have your mother reach out to her today and let her know how much you love her. If your mother has passed away remind her of your love. If your mother was not there for you forgive her.
