I just could not let 2008 end, without checking in on all my blogging buddies. I have missed you over the past 3 months. I have checked in on you, when you didn't know I was looking around. Your blog post have made me laugh and lifted my spirits during a difficult time.
I lost my dear sweet Mom on November 16th. She suffered so much the last month of her life, but her faith in God never wavered. She was such a tough fighter and we had such special moments to spend together before she went on to her eternal home with God. One of the things I have learned during all of this, is to not have regrets. When it came to my relationship with my Mom, I can truly say that I had no regrets. She knew that I loved her and I knew that she loved me.
My New Year's Prayer for each of you, is that you will be blessed the coming year and that if you need to make it right with anyone in your life, do so. Do not let pride or past hurts stand in your way. Life is so short and each day we have together here on earth is so priceless.
I hope to start blogging again, maybe not everyday, but at least once or twice a week or so.
The time I took off from blogging was much needed, it gave me so much more time to spend with Mom and for that I am so thankful that I followed my heart.

I'm so glad you are back but I want you to know that I can sympathize with you in the loss of your mother. When I read your post it reminded me so much of my relationship with my own mother. I have no regrets and I am so happy that you feel the same. I wish every person could say that. It is such a comfort to know that your mother knew how much you loved her. I will be praying for you and your family. I will be looking forward to hearing from you when you feel like posting. Happy New Year!
I lost my mom over 20 years ago but sometimes the loss is as fresh as if it were yesterday. So I'll be praying for you in this time of adjusting to life without her. So many times those first few years I'd think, "Oh I need to tell mom about this" only to remember she was gone.
And you're SO RIGHT about trying to live with no regrets!
Hopefully this coming year will be one of healing and "joy in the morning" for you. God bless you!
Welcome back! And thank you so much for the prayers.
Happy New Year! I'm looking forward to a "Mama" hug Sunday...I certainly need one.
Thanks for stopping by and I'm sorry to hear about your mom. Thanks for the encouraging words to make good with others. I am struggling with one of my sisters and have to suck it up and stay in touch. She is hurtful and needs the Lord so much. Thanks for the encouragement. Happy New Year! Connie
I am so sorry about your mom (((hugs))). I could not imagine how hard that would be. I am glad she made it 'home'.
It is good to see you again. What a surprise! Breaks from blogging are necessary sometimes not only to tale care of life but to refresh your thoughts on why you do it in the first place.
God Bless!
