January

For some reason I have been thinking about my mom alot lately. Mayb its because I live only 30 min from where I spent my elementary years. My friends from that time period have a hard time believing that my mom is paraniod skitsafraniac.I lived with my grandparents in high school so my friends from then didnt know my mom very well or know that I have a younger sister. My college friends went on trips to see my mom so they have seen both.  I miss that loving, creative, strict woman.. However over the years I have come to accept that she is lost forever. Her shell is still there. Very rarely glimpses are seen but most of the time the person I am talking to is not my mother. Its her illness and that illness is not my mother. I know that when she is in Heaven she will be healed from it. My relationship with my saviour Jesus Christ has healed my wounds and I believe that my scars with honor the Lord and help others draw close to him. He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow and I can always count on that no matter what!

  1. I was just thinking of your mom yesterday. She is a very big part of my childhood memories in Nickerson. You know those glass jar mugs with handles? I have some of those and for some reason, when I saw them yesterday I was taken back to a memory of waking up one morning to see your mom sitting in our living room with a glass mug of tea. She had come over when my mom went to the hospital with one of the babies... Hannah or Luke. This started a lot of other memories.

    Thanks for posting this.

  2. Thanks, Brenda for sharing. Its so random when a something small brings back host of memories!! I love those jars as drinking glasses and prefer those over the fancy drinking glasses!
