Loss

Today I'm to write about loss and I have experienced plenty. It's hard, so hard to lose people and things that you love. If I'm to choose the one that was the hardest for me, it would be the loss of my mom. She was taken from this world so early. Both my parents were. My father died at age 45 and my mom at 56. My mom was my very best friend. She's been gone for nearly 30years and I still miss her presence in my life daily. I wish I could at least call her for a chat and some advice. Breast cancer---That's what took her from me. Cancer is an ugly word and ugly disease. In a way, it took her from us long before she died. She was sick and getting sicker for a long time. To make matters worse, she lived in Texas, which meant that I didn't get to spend enough time with her. I don't know why God chose to call her home so soon, but I know that I will one day when I see it all from His point of view. 
We did counted cross stitch together.  Papercrafting hadn't yet taken hold of us at the time.We would have had a blast doing it together. I love imagining us cutting, pasting and creating together. I wonder if we can scrapbook in heaven? What a scrapbook room that would be!
I'm not going to make this a long post--Not going to say much more, because it will get me chocked up. She was a special lady and I wish I had her here with me.

I love you Mom. Save me the mansion right next door to you! What fun we're going to have!
