18 Years and counting

I cannot believe it has been 18 years since my Mom passed away.

I still miss her every day. Most of the past 18 Mays have been filled with mainly sadness as I recall the last month of her life. This May and particularly yesterday were different.

Yesterday, she was my first thought in the morning and my last thought before falling asleep. Not just because it was the anniversary, but also because of how the day unfolded. It was a day where everything went the right way.

I went to a WW meeting - and lost weight.

I went with a friend to hit golf balls and every swing felt good.

I got home and had three phone messages - all of them positive for the business.

I went to Sam's to pick up party supplies - someone call with a job opportunity. (plus Sam's had everything I needed!)

My husband came home and told me his day was filled with positive affirmations - and a new leadership opportunity.

I know that my Mom was watching out for me yesterday. She gave me a day filled with sunshine, happiness and the promise of things to come. I feel my Mom's presence in my life a lot of the time.

But no more than yesterday, on her anniversary.

I love you Mom. Thanks for still being with me.

I'm sorry about the loss of your mom... time changes things but you never get over that do you.
