Today marks 3 years since my mother's passing. I love the Christmas season still, and I am enjoying my time here at the Taylors'. We are just going to take it easy today. Madison and I will be running errands in a while which will be nice. It is a time to look back and remember all the good times with my mother. This day for me isn't specifically the hardest of the year. Lots of times are very difficult. Birthdays, my wedding, family gatherings, etc. are all very difficult. My intent today is to be joyful and think of where mom gets to spend her Christmas, instead of wallowing in sorrow. I am not blocking it out or pretending everything is peachy, but I think it's very important to celebrate this exciting time of year, just as she would want me to do. If I shut myself in this room all day and sobbed and mourned, that would definitely not be something she would be proud of.
I miss her dearly and still cannot believe she is gone from this earth. I am happy to not see her suffer anymore, and thankful for the Christmas season, all our wonderful memories with mom, and all the joyfulness of the season.
God's peace and Merry Christmas.
Liz

Then rang the bells more loud and deep,
God is not dead nor does he sleep,
The wrong will fail, the right prevail,
with peace on earth, good will to men.
Your mother is spending christmas with a God that is ALIVE.
how sad for you, but glorious for her.
