holiday time/ my mom....long

November 25, 2000

I have read posts of your missing your folks. It is true the pain

never goes away, no matter how old or young you are. However, the

pain is less as time goes by.

My mom was my best friend and next-door neighbor for over 20 years.

She was there at all the important events of my life. She had a

wonderful personality and never met a stranger. When I received the

diagnosis of her terminal cancer(stomach, that had metastisized

within weeks) I felt my world had come to an end. I took care of her

as long as I could. But, because of her bones breaking so rapidly, I

had to place her in a nursing center. The Lord provided a place one

block from the school where I taught. This enabled me to visit

morning, lunch and afternoon, then return at night. I was with her

when she passed to glory...Heaven must be the most wonderful place.

If you want more info please e-mail me privately concerning her

passing.

I had a VERY difficult time with grief for about a year. I knew

without shadow of a doubt where she was but I was concerned that she

did not know we had adapted and were doing OK. I cried daily..

One night, after our church Easter musical, I cried and asked the

Lord, " what is wrong with me? " Immediately, I saw myself as a young

child in the most beautiful garden and cottage I have ever seen. I

saw a figure at a bench and knew it was Jesus. I could not see His

face, but knew it was Him. He put out His nail-scared hand to me and

I sat in his lap. He held me to His chest and asked, " what troubles

you so? " I told Him that I don't know that my mama knows I am

OK..immediately I saw a figure come to the window of the cottage. I

heard voices of my loved ones who have passed. The figure at the

window said in my mother's voice, " Oh, look my baby is talking with

The Master, Glory to the Father. " and voices praised and hands

clapped. I knew that I knew as I know today, she knows I am OK when

I go to HIM.

I hope that this helps some of you who are missing your loved ones.

They know you are OK when you go to Him...and aren't you?

Sorry this is so long....Inga in NC
