Its funny how a day merely rolling over to another calender day can spring an unexpected emotion without you really thinking about it.
I woke up this morning with a sense of hollowness and realized it was May 22nd. 4 years ago this day, my beloved "Pop" passed from this earth. Lately, he and my mom, both passed, have been showing up in my dreams as they were 20 years ago. Someone told me you never fully get over the passing of your parents.
I suppose that is true.
Grace,
PB
Yep, you never get over the passing of your parents. My daddy has been gone now for 19 years! Any my momma for 9 years. But I really think that they are suppose to "stay with us". We are linked to them forever and our own children with a bond that will never be broken. It's just how life is. Now it is such a blessing to see my children reflect so much of what my parent were. They truly left a legacy behind. Amazing!

Only good memories! He was a very kind man. I miss my parents everyday. My Dad was a veteran of WWII. He only told me one story of how God spared his life. Surely there were many. I never thought to have a flag drapped coffin. He could have had if I had thought about calling the American Legion in town. Sorry Dad, but I love you and thank you for teaching me Christian values, living the example,being there for me,seeing to it that I was growing up in church to learn about Jesus. Now I know Him personally. I pray for all who never have that example. Let us honor the Vets today who have given their all for our freedom we have today!

I am with you , my sweet mom died one year ago march 7. I thought I would die, my best friend , mom, spiritual guide....I was so lost I couldn't breath. I still forget often. I too, care of her for 17 years with no help fom my 3 siblings. I am still trying to figure out what to do after church on Sunday. She was my afternoon for years. I drove around in circles trying to find somewhere to be...it doesn't exist , there is no replacement for them, I ache for her and her words and loving eyes. She new not judgement, just loved as completely as a human possibly could.

So very true. I lost both of my parents too and don't think I'll ever get over them not being here anymore. Sorry PB... :(
