Definitely bitter-sweet, almost confusing, wondering when she was going to arrive. What day more bonds us to our mother than the day of our BIRTH? My mom was older (73) yet still there is such a void... she really wasn't that old. This year I relived every day... (I do that the first year after someone passes). I remember the last Bible Study I was at... I said good-bye to Deborah, because I had to go pick up my Daughter Rachel from college at the University of Oregon. I got a call from Judi Storie telling me your mom had passed. Two days later I got a call from my friend Margie telling me my other friend Debbie (age 50) also passed away! I was on vacation, but in shock! Then I came home from Oregon with my daughter and family; my mother was so glad to see her granddaughter again, and told her she waited to see her... that was June... my mom passed July 21, 2008. Last year was a difficult year... so I am doing alot of reflecting this year. But we are confident of this very thing... that HE who has begun a good work in us... HE will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ! Our moms are just making sure our mansion is already for us! God Bless you Nadine; Cheryl Nadene;
