My Mom
This entry will be dedicated to my mom who is a strong, awesome woman of God.
My mom is an awesome woman. She has been the strong one of the family. She might not think she is.
She has kept this family together. She has also helped me not to hate the guy that killed my dad. I had so much hatred that if he would still be alive I would go and give him a piece of my mind. But I can’t cause he is gone.
She has been a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, sister-in-law and so on. She has blessed so many people that she doesn’t even know it. For the funeral, right before it was finished she went up and call all of her kids and spoke maybe for 15 minutes and those 15 minutes was awesome. She ministered on how wives if you love your husbands tell them that cause you never know when it will be the last you hear from them. When she was finished she had a standing ovation. She said that it was God. I believe her cause she had a speech all prepared and she didn’t even use it.
Since we have been home, she has blessed us. She has ministered to us. She has shown us how to love her mate till the end. She still loves him and it hurts to see her in so much pain. A lot of times she is so strong that her emotions don’t show, but there are days that we talk and then cry cause it hurts so much that I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy.
My days have been sitting around mom and absorbing her love for God and for her family. I keep thinking that this is a nightmare and that we will wake up and dad will be walking in the door saying “What’s for supper? And sorry that I worried everybody and that I was alright.” And then I realize that day will never happen again. But I know that I will see him again and I will still be able to learn the stuff that he wasn’t able to show me.
My 6 year old daughter had a dream one nite not long after dad’s accident. That her and Grandpa was sitting in a hallway and that they were visiting each other and that he told her to let us know that he was alright and not to worry that he was in a better place and that he was not hurting and that he loves us and he will see us soon. And then she got up and started walking away and that she was crying and that her heart was hurting. And then he went away. So when I’m down and out I think of her dream and have reassurance that I will see him.

I came over here from your Mom's blog, and I lost my Dad a few years ago. Not in a tragic accident but a tragic sickness. You never forget them, they are ever in your heart. God puts those memories in your heart to remind you of them. Sometimes we take for granted the time we have with someone that in one instance it can vanish. You are blessed to have a Momma and Daddy like yours.
Now you have to take care of your Mom. These things will pass....tears are for healing. The dream your dd had is awesome, after my Dad died. I was sitting in his room and reading his Bible, and I was crying...and all of a sudden I heard my Dad's voice- Robyn dont worry Im okay...he said it twice and then that night I dreamt my Dad was standing on the side of a mountain and there was a bright light shining around him so bright...I knew then not to worry he was with the Lord. So cherish your Mom, your family. It wont be long for the Lord's return and you will all be together again. Your the glue that holds your Momma together...

What a nice post. I hope one day my children feel as blessed to have us as parents as you are of yours.
