So, in many ways, you are your mother's child, you did learn well and she did place one person out in this world to offer that special gift needed by so many.

Perhaps you need to remember her and honor her by truely remembering her contribution to the world by loving you. It is sad that she can no longer be at your side in a physical sense, but fear not, she truely remains in your heart and in so many ways you pay homage to her every day.

And you truely deserve to take time to grieve the loss of her physical presence in your life. And as that time comes close and it really hasn't been that long since she left your side, it is very understandable that you feel that loss, not only for yourself, but for all of those she touched. But always remember that through you, she has reached beyond her physical presence to continue to reach out and share her true talent for compassion and unconditional love.

So, if, for some reason you cannot change the scheduled appointments. As each person sits across from you, remember that you ARE ACTUALLY PAYING HOMAGE TO THAT WONDERFUL WOMAN WHO SO TOUCHED YOUR SOUL. Because, if you really think about it, that is what you do every day as you reach out to others in your own special way.

Openeyes, I know it's been a couple of months since I originally posted, but I wanted to tell you how much impact your reply had for me. Every time I start to miss Mom (daily) I think of what you said here... she lives on in what I do. That is such a beautiful thought. It helps ease the pain. Thanks you.
