Before I Was A Mother
Before I was a mother, I never knew how much fear, and love you could feel at the same time looking at one little human being.
Before I was a mother, I never really understood what sacrifice was. I never understood complete fullness of heart.
Before I was a mother, I never realized all my mom did for me because she loved me.
Before I was a mother, I never really realized how much my children would love me, and need me in their lives everyday.
Losing my mom makes me understand how much they need me. Since I lost my mom to Heaven's arms, I truly understand emptiness of heart.
Before I was a mother, though, I never could have given her the gift of seeing her grandchildren laugh and love and play and learn. If that is the best way I could thank her for all I realize now, then I am at peace.
Before I was a mother, I had the greatest teacher, and I hope I was a good student and a good daughter.
I love you and miss you so much mom.

I have been thinking the last couple days about a trip to Big Lots and Dairy Queen mom and I took shortly before she got very sick. It was such a fun day. We drove the half hour to the store, chatting away the whole time. Although I can't remember what we talked about, it was just a normal fun day with mom. At Big Lots, we looked around, then hit the health and beauty aisle and spent about 30 minutes smelling bath gel and sprays - by the time we left - LOL - we were both covered in so many smells, people probably thought we were crazy. Then we stopped at Dairy Queen and mom got a vanilla milkshake, and I got a Blizzard. Mom didn't often stay away from home for very long at that time because of her oxygen, but we had taken enough and changed them - and when we got home, Dad actually was wondering where we were for so long - just a special normal day, but such a great memory of fun with my mom.

One of my favorite memories of my mom is the morning I went to the hospital to have my son. I called her at 6am, because I knew she would be leaving for work soon. When I told her my back had been hurting all night - she jumped off the phone with me - and called the doctor.
Mom always seemed to know what I needed more than I did -So in the middle of an ice storm - we headed an hour away to have my baby. She was in the delivery room with me all that morning - until later in the afternoon when I finally had Adrian. He was little and born 5 weeks early - and I was about the most nervous new mom ever. Luckily, my mom had had all preemies herself, and was always able to help me through everything.
Everytime I look at my children, I see a little bit of my mom there.
