I've been thinking today (with it being mothers day) that it should be a sad day for me. But it isn't. Not at all. Today I haven't felt sad that my mother is no longer with me, instead I've felt so incredibly grateful and blessed that she once was.With you or not with you, here or somewhere else, your mother is always your mother and everything she has ever given you will always be carried in your heart. She never leaves you. Her impact on your life is imprinted into your very being and you carry it with you and little bits of her wherever you go.
It reminds me of a quote by Joel Osteen I love ... "The best legacy is not what we leave FOR people but what we leave IN people" And my mother, she left a lot in me.

Sharon wrote: Happy mother's day to all the moms today and everyday honestly. I had a bittersweet day having some relationship difficulty with my mom. Yesterday was her birthday and today mother's day and selfishness built a wedge between. My biggest prayer is for healing and forgiveness while we are both on this earth. I am grateful she is still here but we are definitely a work in progress of a strained relationship over the years. I feel i've struggled for her approval and still never seem to fully receive it genuinely, there's always a price i pay and it hurts.
