Today would have been my Mamaw's 73rd birthday.
She died at a time when she was not expected to.
It was the day before her 71st birthday that we lost her.
I miss her so much.
She was always more of a parent than a grandparent.
I pray that she is smiling and dancing whereever her soul is now.
I pray that she will be there waiting when I too must shed this mortal coil.
I love you dearly Mamaw.
You are eternally with me. <3
-Your "blue eyed baby girl"
May we all find smiles today. *Big Hugs* to each of you.
Aww, I'm sorry. It's always the worst when you loose someone unexpectedly.
ReplyDeleteGranted, it's bad losing someone whenever, but I've always had an easier time of it when it was something I could brace for.
Thank you Heather. In truth, I have never had a chance to "brace" for death. I speculate that it might be easier if you can prepare, but either way a loss is a loss.
DeleteWishing you a peaceful afterlife, Mamaw! I'm sure you will never forget the lessons she taught you. May her legacy live on in you and all whom she loved. *big hug*
ReplyDelete*Big hugs* back. Thank you Dani.
DeleteHello from Spain: I feel much loss but it sure is happy in a better place along with her other family members .. She is proud of you. You are very good person and very affectionate with everyone .. Keep in touch.
ReplyDeleteThank you Marta, you are very kind. I try hard to pass on the good times and life lessons she taught.
DeleteI think that someone dear to us dies does not dies completely but stil continues to live within us, in our hearts, in our minds and in our daily actions. Don't be sad. *bear hugs*
ReplyDeleteI needed those bear hugs! Thank you. I love the way you view it, and I try to keep my chin up with similar thinking.
DeleteHappy Birthday to your Mamaw and a big hug for you. Hold on to all of the wonderful memories last forever.
ReplyDelete*hugs* I will, and thank you.
DeleteI'm so sorry to hear about her sudden passing. I know exactly how you feel, I still miss my father to this day. Sending you hugs!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Brini. I think we will always miss them, but we really do need to carry them in our heart. *hugs*
DeleteI'm so sorry I'm so late in reading your blog, but I've got a lot of catching up to do since I've been sick!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I'm so so sorry about your sad heart yearning for your Mamaw. I, too, cherished my grandmother who has been in heaven since I was 17, 31 years ago. To this day there is not a day that I don't think of her and wish she could see me and my family. Cat, they're both up there being our guardian angels and they see and know everything our hearts can tell them. I think of my grandmother as a messenger to God sometimes and pray through her to ask for guidance.
I am happy that you have someone so special in your life to think about and to have as a role model. I wish her a belated Happy Birthday.
Hugs,
Susan
