  • MISSING MOMA

    When I was growing up every year on March 7th Moma would say, "Today my mother would have been __" and proceed to tell me a favorite memory about her. Somehow I never understood how much she must have missed her. Ma Day died before I turned 4, so she was never more than a name to me.... Now I understand. Now I'm the one who misses my Moma. Saturday she would have been 92.

    I hope Moma had someone in her life who understood how it feels when joy and sorrow meet and held her when tears spilled over and encouraged her to reminisce.

    I didn't sleep much Friday night and then thought about her all day long. Last night I  dreamed that we gave her a big birthday party. She didn't like the cake, but pretended she did. Funny how you can know stuff noone tells you in dreams....

    This is a picture of her from her last birthday:

  • I miss my grandmother horribly.....and every March 27th I think of how old she would have been and what she has missed with me and the children.....I can hardly wait to see her in heaven!!  

  • I sure understand those feelings.  We buried Mother 21 years ago today, her 90th birthday would have been a week ago Sunday, and lots of emotions mixed up around this time of year.  I guess I've decided that even while no one seems to miss them, I do and I will talk about them if I choose.  It helps me to remember my heavenly deposits, "Store up for yourselves treasures in heaven where neither moth or rust can destroy."  Matthew

  • i Lover that picture of her.  We talked a lot about her all weekend.

    Ken has a big huge red place on his arm.  He is putting cortizone cream on it and said if it isn't better next week he will go see the dr.. He has psoriasis on his head.  Sherri has that too....especially on her elbow.

    My aunt V is back in the hospital today.  They are putting a ballon in her leg.  She alrleady has a stent.  She has been doing pretty good.  Her spells with her hands and speech have been getting milder and further between.

    The wind is supposed to pick up again tomorrow.  I am trying to get some water on the yard,  We can only water between 7pm and 10 am.  Dalton turns my water on every time he walks by it.               

    Have a great day.

  • Happy Birthday Moma! Bet she is having a wonderful day witht the Lord and your daddy!
