Hello ,
I am missing my mother today. My mom and I had a close relationship, and after losing her in 2016 I struggled with my grief for quite some time. Ever so often, I still get these "grief storms" that wash over me. Her and I spoke on the telephone everyday (for at least an hour), and although she struggled with dementia, during one of the last years of her life she remembered my birthday, somehow found my number, and sang to my voicemail
at an early hour before I got up in the morning.
Not everyone has had the opportunity to have a solid relationship with their mother (for whatever reasons). For those of us who did have (or perhaps still do), today is a good day to remember motherhood.
To the mother's on my subscriber list, Happy Mother's Day! May God lean in preciously close to you, today. Thank-you for all that you have done to advance God's kingdom through your influence as a mom.
Have a great day and God bless!
