Seven Years Ago Today

Today I celebrate your home going.
It is a sad day for me.
There are so many things I remember about you, Mom.
The way you took care of my clothes for me.
The way you prepared each meal.
The way you sewed my well worn slacks.
There are many other things too that I remember.
I know you had a love for Jesus that shined through each thing you did.
I know that you cared for me when it seemed I was at my worst.
Today I celebrate your life.
It is or was a short one.
You were so much in love with Dad and anyone knew that to be the truth.
I hope that Jesus is holding your hand now.
I hope that He is taking good care of you as you need to be treated.
I am sure He is.
Jesus loves you and He has provided for you far better than Dad ever could.
I want to visit your mansion one day Mom.
To see the great place that you now live would be a treat.
I hope you have a garden all to yourself, Mom.
I know that each pedal would be handled in love.
There are so many things I would like to say to you now.
I hope that you are listening to me.
I want you to know that I love you and always shall love you.
I want you to know that you were right about so many things in my life.
You knew that I was going to be unhappy with my significant other.
You were right to care the way you did.
I should have listened to you about so many things including him.
Well, I now have a great friend in Bob Griggs.
He is like a brother to me.
Ervin remains to be unrepentent and I don't know what to do about that.
I know that I can pray for him.
I know that prayer does change things.
May you know I was thinking about you today and everyday.
I love you Mom and always shall love you.
I hope to see you in Heaven one day.
The only reason I would be there is because of Jesus' blood being shed for me.
I know that within me is no good thing.
I hope you are having a great day now.
May you know that I can't go on without you being in my life.
That is why I have you within me and my heart and always shall.
Love to you, Mom.
Love to you always.
