Today is a very special day for me. It’s my momma’s birthday! She would have turned sixty-six on today. I lost my momma in June of 2015. Even now, it’s still very hard for me to believe she’s no longer with us. Grateful that she’s no longer in pain but so sad she had to go.
The months of November and December were her favorite. She loved cooking so Thanksgiving and Christmas gave her the opportunity to go all out. Feeding us and making a plate for anyone who stopped by gave her so much joy. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of both my parents but I think of them most often during this time of year.
Time is not always on our side and everything can’t wait. There is one thing I can be whole about when it comes to losing my parents and that is we had no unfinished business at the time of their deaths. I can mourn and be sad without guilt or feeling as if I should have said something or done something prior to losing them.
Be authentic. Love your family, love your friends. If you have something to say…say it. If you know you were wrong…humble yourself and apologize. If someone hurt you, tell them and clear the air. Remember…forgiveness is for you. You walking around in hurt and anger is only further hurting you.
Missing my momma…❤
