Mother's Day
A day of conflicting emotions....one of pure joy, happiness and pride that I am now a mom of two beautiful children, who are a true blessing from God....and then....it's the first Mother's Day without my Mom. Words cannot even begin to describe how much I miss her and how much I wish she could be here to celebrate this day with us. I know that she would have loved to hold her grandchildren and she would have cherished them as much as I do. I have included this picture of my Mom and I on my wedding day. Mom, I know you are in a better place now....but I love you and miss you so much!!

hey stacey
fathers day was really hard for me too so I can somewhat relate to the empty feeling that would have been there. I am so proud of you though - you are going to be a great mom and I just know that your mom has greatly influenced you so you are that little peice of your mom to your kids. Love you
Hey Bunny,
I just want to let you know how proud I am of you. You are a fantastic Mom and you mirror your Mom with the unconditional love you show. I could not have asked for anything more for our children.
I love you

Thank you Beth. Your words mean a lot. Hope I can be a great mom.
Gil,
Your comment means more than words can say. I love you too!
Mother's day, for some reason is only one day out of the 365 days of the year in which we are supposed to express our love and appreciation for our mothers.
I think that every day of the year, we should strive to show our love and appreciation for all of our loved ones.
Stacey, I went and took your(my) mother flowers yesterday on mother's day, and I was again reminded as I am every day that there are no words to describe how much I miss her. I would do anything to have her back. I miss her voice, her smile, her tears, her embrace, and the undescrible love that she had for you and I, and everyone else that shared a part in her life.
If I was able to hear her voice, I know she would say that she is so proud of her beautiful grandchildren, and even prouder of her daughter, who is, and is going to be a loving, caring, wonderful mother.
Eight months has almost past since she left,and there isn't an hour in the day when I don't think of her. I'm sure she is watching us from Heaven and would wish you a very happy mother's day. She was so excited when you told her about the babies, and she's even more excited that they are beautiful and healthy. If Mom taught you anything it is how to be the best mother, and I know you will emulate her.
So Happy Mother's Day
I love you sis.
A very proud brother and uncle
Both your comments and Jeff's have brought tears to my eyes and you know that it doesn't take much for me to get emotional these days. I know yoiur Mom was so looking forward to becoming a grandmother. She was taken away from all of us much too soon.
Love Auntie Alayne
Hi Stacey-
we don't know eachother but I came across your blog through Paul's & I must say this one really touched me...partly because God has truly blessed you with two beautiful children (love the names:) who, by the sounds of it have an amazing person for a mom.
But also because I too lost my mother -to cancer- when I was 18 (13 yrs. ago)...& I know the heartache you describe esp. on Mother's Day-my mom never met her grandchildren either, but the Lord is so compassionate & gives us amazing strength through it all, including the joy of being mothers ourselves!
Ýou'll be in my prayers & thoughts...someone passed along this verse to me that I find so true...
"He comforts us as a mother comforts her children." (I'll find the ref. soon)
May God continue to shine down on you all!
