Mother's Day

Mothers Day is such a wonderful time to spend with family. I am so grateful to have a loving aunt who raised me just like one of her own children, I hold a special place in my heart for her. I have a loving and caring mother-in-law who is just wonderful and such a great person. I have two beautiful children and another coming in a couple of months. Part of me is sad because I always think of my own mom around Mother's Day. She has been gone now for almost 25 years but that doesn't make it any easier to go on without my real mother. My children have been missing out on not having another grandma to love them. I know that my mother watches over us but it is still sad knowing that we will have to wait to see her again someday. I was listening to the radio the other day and heard a song that reminded me of my mom. Here are the lyrics:


Sissy song by Alan Jackson

Why did she have to go?
So young I just don't know why
things happen half the time
without reason without rhyme
lovely sweet young woman
daughter wife and mother
makes on sense to me
I just have to believe

She flew up to heaven on the wings of angels
by the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
and she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting
and I know she's smiling saying
Don't worry about me.

Loved ones she left behind
just trying to survive
and understand the why
feeling so lost inside
anger shot straight at God
Then asking for his love
empty with disbelief
just hoping that maybe

She flew up to heaven on the wings of angels
by the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
and she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting
and I know she's smiling saying
don't worry about me.

It's hard to say goodbye
her picture in my mind
will always be of times I cherish
and I won't cry cause

She flew up to heaven on the wings of angels
by the coulds and stars and passed where no one sees
and she walk with Jesus and her loved ones waiting
and I know she's smiling saying
don't worry about me.
don't worry about me.
