I can't believe it has been so long since I posted anything. Time has a way of passing to fast for me. I have heard it said that this happens as we age. My days have been busy with just daily routines. We did make a trip to Texas last weekend for Miranda's graduation she received her Master's degree. We had to make a short trip but we would not have missed it. We are very proud of our daughter and all she has accomplished.
I was thinking of Mama on Mother's day and meant to wright something then .My Mama was so very special to me I loved her dearly as I am sure all of my siblings did. She was always there for us and made sure we had what we needed. I know she went with out things so we could have more.
The things I remember most was her being there for me. I know we didn't always see eye to eye on things but for the most part we did. When you grow up and have children of your own you really appreciate and understand why your parents corrected you and tried to lead you in the right way.
Being a parent is the toughest job I have ever done. I know I made mistakes along the way and probably would again. Family is just the most important thing to me.
My Mama went home to be with the Lord twenty three years ago today .It seems such a long time since I have seen or heard from her. On the other hand she is still with me and always will be she lives in my heart the love she gave me lives on , the things I learned from her. I can just close my eyes and see her and at times when I am troubled I can feel her near. I thank God for the mama he gave me and the time we had together even though I don't know why she had to leave us at the age of fifty nine I have to trust God and know that He knows what is best for each of us.I am attaching a photo of Mama working in the yard her favorite place to be .Also one taken on Mother's day I think . Mama was my best friend as I grew older and had a family of my own . A day never passed that we didn't talk with each other. There is one thing that happened the first year after Mama died. She had flower beds around the yard there was one out in the back that had different flowers in it. My sister Martha and I were walking around looking at different ones in the yard and talking about Mama and how we missed her and how she loved her flowers.We noticed this rose bush in the bed that had not been there before it had small white roses we made the comment that maybe it was a sign from Mama not to be sad that she still was near us. Well it bugged us that we didn't know where it came from or what kind of rose it was we started checking and found it in a book it was a Fairy Rose. It bloomed that first spring and never was seen again so I feel it was from God reassuring us Mama was okay.
