A Bittersweet Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day is bittersweet this year. I am blessed and fortunate to have my own mother alive and healthy on this earth. But we are all aching for one new mom who can’t be with us here on earth. But I know that she is looking down on her children and guiding us to help them grow up without her. They will know that their mother was a beautiful, intelligent, kind, and generous person who loves them very much. Even if they only knew each other a few days.
I’ve been going through old videos of her and her family and each time it hurts my heart a little. But at the same time I am so happy to hear her voice, still clear as day in my head.
Tomorrow we will lay her body to rest in the earth. Something about it is so final. Even though her spirit is in Heaven, her body has been in the mortuary, still being able to be seen. Once that casket is placed in the ground and buried with six feet of dirt, we won’t see it again until the Holy Resurrection. But then it will be perfect.
Alice’s body failed her here on earth. But her spirit is perfect and lives on in another realm. She will watch over us all and guide the unborn souls to our family. And she will visit my brother and give him peace. And some day they will be together again.
Happy Mother’s Day to all of you mothers living and deceased.
Heidi, again I am so sorry. I can’t even begin to imagine. God bless you & your family!
My heart is with you.

a definite bittersweet day in honor of a remarkable woman. I never met Alice, but she is my hero today. May God ever be with her, her dear husband, and sweet children forever and ever.
I will keep all of you in my prayers, Heidi. What a tragic story. Tears aren’t enough. I hope to donate to your fund soon.

My father in law passed almost a year and a half before my girls were born. I’d like to think they found each other and he sent them in our direction. My Nana, too… one of my girls has her eyes.

I have thought of your family many times over the last few days. We are praying for your family during this time.
I know your hearts are hurting, and my prayers have been with you since I learned of this tragedy. At least you have the hope of seeing her again. Life is precious, and only God has the answers to all of this. Many hugs!
I thought and prayed for all of you today. As I spent the day with my darling daughter and watched her with her little one, I could only think of the ache and sorrow you must all feel. My donation for your sweet family is small, but sent with great love. I will continue to keep you in prayer….
Beautifully said, I can’t imagine how hard the last few days have been but your right she is in heaven watching her dear little children and I hope everything goes well for your family. Prayers are being sent your way.

So, so sad. It’s times like these where it is so hard for me to remember that God has a plan and that even the bad stuff is part of it. Praying for you and your whole family. xoxo
