A" Rose"~ for you~ & you~ and....

Happy Saturday Morning! Well~ I had a Play Day yesterday~ I went to Tyler and shopped! Had a wonderful lunch @ the Olive Garden, and finished it off with a delicious cup of strawberry/banana yogurt ice cream on the way home! Hope you are having a fun week-end thus far! This is a "Special Tribute" not only to my Mother but my Dad as well. Today they would have been celebrating their 65th Wedding Anniversary. I am filled with emotions this morning as I cannot believe how so much time as passed and we are already at this place in time that loosing both of them 11 months apart, she has been gone 6yrs, he 7yrs! I don't think I sometimes I really ever stopped to Grieve like I probably needed to! But I  just believe that I was really so covered with that Amaz*ing Grace during that time~ because really the last year of my Dad's life was plummeting fast, and after my Dad died, my Mom's last year was very down hill, I really believe that, even tho, she had Alzheimer's, she so sensed that something was wrong and she missed my dad! For 7 yrs., He went to the Nursing Home 3 times a day to check on her!  But after all this being relived God has allowed me to just "Stop" and know that He has had me covered and that I can relive the most precious memories of them both time after time! I was very close to both of them and me and Mom was best friends as well! She encouraged me in my early years of being a wife and a Young Mother as well! Her words of "Just Trust in the Lord" as become very strong in my own Heart! So today with my parents on my Heart and Mind~ I will just say...Mom, I Love and Miss You... and Dad I so miss your wonderful little gardens and fresh stuff, that your hands dropped in the ground..but I know and feel safe that both of you are rejoicing this day~ in Heaven! Dad ,you are not sick, and Mom I know that your Memory as been Restored! What more could this Heart want?..for both of You!  I love and miss you~ indescribably~ Happy:) Mothers Day Mom~ and Happy:) Anniversary to You and Dad!

The Message says this...
{We don't see things clearly, we are squinting in a fog, peering through a mist. but it won't be long before the weather clears, and the sun shines bright! We'll see it all then, see it all as clearly as God sees us, knowing Him directly, just as He knows us!}.


*Happy:) Mother's Day~ Sweet Friends!

  3. Hi there dear one, My heart is sending hugs your way-my mom has been gone for 38 yrs and my dad for 21 yrs-but you still feel like an orphan.
    It is so reassuring though to know we will be united with them again.
    Hugs today.
