Remembering Mom
Today, is the 15th anniversary of the death of my mom and I cannot help but think of her.
The older I get, the more I think about all that she did and went through. It was a spectacular feat actually, all that she did and survived.
There were so many things that she was there for, and after she was gone, so many things that she has missed.
I think about who she was. Not just as my motner, but as a person.
We only know so much of one another, especially those who raise us and feel responsible for us. They are seeing the world differently than we do. They have other concerns than we do.
And as we grow up, with our own responsibilities, we realize more of what our parents have gone through.
We see our history a little differently as we gain insights. We see it as more of a complete picture, not as much centered around how we were impacted by things.
It is really necessary to our growth, to see life in a fuller way. Seeing how God used things in our lives to help teach us valuable lessons when we least suspected it.
Stay strong! Remember, learn and grow in understanding.
