6 months ago tomorrow my Momma passed away.
I miss my Momma !!! I miss her voice, her laughter, her hugs....I miss her. I want to smell her. I want to touch her. I want to sit with her and talk about anything and everything. I miss everything about her. I keep one of her shirts in a zip lock bag in my closet. I love the smell.
Everyone says that it gets easier and it does a little each day ...but the emptiness is always there. I pick up the phone to call her and feel a sharp pain when I realize she is gone. It still feels like a dream. Like she will be getting home soon from a long trip. She will call and say "Why haven't you called your "Mother"? =).
We are left with memories. The memories have become a treasure to us all. The pictures, the videos are priceless. So many of them....One of my favorite memories was making mud pies with my Mom....another is watching her place co-ed softball. She was the pitcher and I was always proud to watch her play. (I know...why didn't I get those athletic talents from her....that is what you are thinking if you have seen me play softball). Another one was seeing her with her Grandchildren. She would work (If you knew my Mom you knew she worked hard !!) and still have energy for the kids. She loved being around them. They loved her.
My Mom left us but she will never leave our hearts.
There are so many memories...I am so thankful for them.
We all should treat each day remembering that it could be a memory. What do you want remembered ? That you were not nice or that you were friendly... That you always had something negative to say or that you were positive and full of joy. I want to make good memories. I want to laugh, smile, hug, ...love =)
I want to leave memories just like my Momma did. =)
