This blog is a reminder to love and appreciate your mom. It is also for anyone that has had to pick up the pieces and move on with life after losing their mom. It is especially dedicated to all the woman that face their own journey of raising a family without the guidance, love and support of their mom. *Note: This blog will have made up words, wrong grammar but lots of truth. This is just a blog of me talking to you.

Unanswered Prayers

I prayed SO hard that mom would be healed. But, she wasn’t. WHY?! Why would God not want her to be here with us! As time passes and life experiences come and go- I have realized that her passing has given me insight that I was previously too selfish, too ignorant, and too ungrateful to ever see! I see life so different.

I see motherhood in a way that most 28 year olds don’t, well most 50 year old mothers for that matter….how is that you ask? Well, it’s because I know what the end of motherhood looks like. I know what the end feels like. I know the regrets, the worry, the concerns, and the memories that hit at the end of motherhood. I also know those treasured moments that sit on your heart at the end of motherhood…those fingerprint smudges that used to drive you crazy are all of a sudden popping up in your memory. What a gift!!! 

What a gift to be a young mom with the perceptive of a 60 year that is saying goodbye to her family. I have just started to appreciate this gift. The gift of living motherhood in reverse…taking her lessons and living them now!  Who would have ever thought that I would agree with good ole Garth Brooks when he sang, “Some on God’s greatest gifts are unanswered prayers!”
