Small
It's the small things that I miss the most.
At first I though it was the big things like Christmas, the birth of a child or a new business venture.
I though it would be a wedding or a party or any great family gathering but it's not.
It's the small things that I miss the most.
The morning calls that use to irritate me because I'm not a morning person. Or the popup visits to my house unannounced. The never ending calls throughout my day just to say hello. It's the small things I miss the most.
The laughter, the smile the many encouraging but God said statements. The way she would see the good in any thing, person, place or situation. Yes I conclude it is the small things that I miss the most ABOUT MY MOM.

Awww that is very sweet. I miss my Mom too. It's been almost 18 years now and I still miss her :( It's a good lesson on cherishing everyone at every moment isn't it...not knowing what a day will bring. May the Lord give your heart peace, rest and comfort. Visiting from Heart Filled Friday! :)
ReplyDeleteShari I think a mothers love is something that will be missed for a lifetime. It just gets a little better with time. Thanks for stopping in and sharing with me.
DeleteYour post gave me a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes. Although my mother is still here, I miss the same things. She is suffering from Alzheimer's and dementia. In no way do I want to diminish your loss but I do understand.

Yes I understand I lost both my parents to cancer the process is horrible. But just keep praying for your mother and cherish the small moments where she knows you.
DeleteBeautiful Richetta! This was a good reminder to cherish the small things.
