Today marks 11 years since my mom passed away. I was with several of my girlfriends when I got the call. The Lord and my mother knew I needed to be surrounded by these lovely ladies. My dad called telling me that mom had passed away peacefully. He was surrounded by all of his brothers and sisters and naturally worried about my brother and me and how we would handle the news. At that point, the most amazing thing happened. All of my girlfriends, stood in a circle and held hands. I don't think any of us were raised in the same faith.....but the most beautiful prayers went up from everyone in the circle. I will never forget that moment as long as I live.
Eleven years later, I still miss her like crazy. This year has been harder than the past few. I still want to pick up the phone and talk to her so bad. However....at the same time, I've had an overwhelming sense of comfort. My mother made friends with everyone. It never mattered what their background or circumstances was....she was a true friend. Because of this, I know she's up there making contact with multitudes of folks and having prayer meetings in my honor. It's evident by all of the good reports that have come over the last few days.
One of the last things she ever said to me was "Don't worry sugar. The Lord makes a way where there seems to be no way." I never thought I could go on without my best friend....but I didn't have too. She still makes her presence known. That saying has stood true to me as soon as I received my diagnosis....and I see the way.
Have a blessed night....and tell your mommas and dads how much you love them.
