I hope you all are enjoying time with family or friends this Easter. I am thankful to be spending it with my amazing husband but I miss my family in Vegas but in particular I am missing my Mom. 2 years ago today she lost her courageous battle with cancer 10 months to the day after she was diagnosed. She was cheated out of the chance to live a long life and I find that completely unfair.
There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about her and miss her terribly. I know how my sister and I feel as daughters losing our Mom but I can't begin to imagine how my Dad feels after losing his wife of over 30 years. I pray everyday that she is looking down on us and that she is proud. It is still hard some days knowing that I can't pick up the phone and call her. I miss her voice, her laughter and everything about her.
I am thankful that I was chosen to be her daughter, she helped shape me into who I am today. I will NEVER ever forget her and everything she taught me.
Since Kyle and I can't be there to celebrate Easter and her memory we had these flowers sent to my family:
They plan on taking them down to Mom's tree.

DeleteJen the flowers are so beautiful and thank you for sharing such wonderful pictures. I am tearing up reading this…There is not a doubt in my mind that she is looking down on you and your family. She will be there until you meet again. Life is so unfair at times but if anything it just makes you appreciate each and every day here on Earth that much more. I'm just so glad she was there to raise you and help shape who you are today. I can't imagine how proud she must be of you.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter!
