Saying goodbye...

Saying goodbye…

My mom isn’t doing well and I know I don’t have much more time with her. She’s 89 and lived in pain for years, my dad has been gone for 21 years, this is not a bad thing. And yet… My heart is aching at the thought of her actually going. Her health has had it’s ups and downs, I have been prepared for this, yet it’s still so so hard.

Did show her how much I love her? Did I do enough for her? These questions roll around in my mind, yet my heart tells me she knows just how much I love her.

I don’t know a lot, but this much I know. She will always live in me. I have her smile, her kindness, her generosity. She is forever in my heart. I know that I will see her again, I know this is not the end. I know she will be gratefully reunited with her family, my dad, my brother. I know as hard as it will be for all of us on this side to say goodbye, there are so many people who are anxiously waiting to embrace her again, just as she will be anxiously waiting to embrace me again when it’s my time to go.

So for today, give your family an extra hug. Love them, appreciate the small moments, appreciate all of them- warts and all (you know we’ve all got a few- ha).

Much love,

Jules ❤
