Hi, this is a very sad night for me, 6 years ago, midnight, my dear mother went to be with the Lord, it seems like only yesterday. In fact, today is even the same day!! Wednesday, the 13th, and she died Thursday the 14th, it was just a few minutes past midnight. So, I am reliving the whole thing. The weather is even the same, real windy and cold, there are sooooo many similarities to this day and the same day 6 years back, it is almost making me sick to my tummy.

Gosh, I miss her, this past week has been sad, and now it is at its peak. I know she is happy with her Lord and in no pain and having a great time, and that I will see her again, but wow, I hurt.

One thing that really bothers me, and I just can NOT seem to shake it. I feel very selfish, you see, the night she died, I was not in her room, the nurse asked me if I wanted to stay, and like a selfish jerk, I went back to my motel room, I was super exhausted, and I guess I did not want to believe she might die that night, well, I had only been in the room for an hour, and the nurse called and said mom had died. I felt horrible, I went back to the hospital, went into her room, gave her a kiss on the cheek and said I loved her. I left the room, hugged the nurses and thanked them for all they had done, they were terrific. Anyway, how I wish I had been there, dang, I just can not forgive myself, I know the Lord does, but, I don't. She left the earth after 10 years of suffering, continually, and all those years, I was with her, in all the hospitals, and I stayed too, some had motels, others, did not, but, I never left her, then, on the night when it was very important, I don't stay, man, I hurt, but, I can't change it.

Well, that is all I had to say, I just wanted to share this evening and tomorrow with you. I may not be on here tomorrow, depends on how I feel.

Take care and God bless.

Susie, I hear you. None of us are perfect people and therefore there will be some regrets...but it seems Susie you are being very hard on yourself. Taking care of your needs is not selfish and you could not have known what would or wouldn't happen in the future. Having said this, I understand what it is like to have some of these feelings. My brother died rather tragically and I had my regrets. I truly believe God is big enough to ensure His plan is followed through on. (e.g. Jonah and the big fish) At times I've said, if I've over looked something God needs me to see I'll be swallowed by a fish and spit out where He wants me. (not literally of course but you get the idea) Some times letting go of our regrets is difficult but God loves you and I don't think He wants you to begrudge yourself. When I'm having a difficult time emotionally, I find it helpful to just simply close my eyes and let my heart feel and empty itself in the presence of God.
Romans 8:26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.
I don't mind listening and I'll be praying. Take care.

Thank you Kathy, I know she would not want me to feel badly or guilty at all, she was such a kind, sweet person. It will be awesome when we meet again and can hug and talk like we used to.

Awww, Psalms, 20 years, but, still, when you love someone, it does not feel that long at times. I remember talking to a minister one day, I was telling him how I missed my mom, he said not to feel bad about crying, that at times, he would still walk down the hallway in his house, see the picture of his dad who had died, and burst out crying, his dad had been dead over 10 years, so, I guess this feeling is normal.

Awwww, thanks for your beautiful words of comfort and for the pretty graphic and saying.

You are right, I can very terribly hard on myself, more than others on me actually. I need to do what you said, just close my eyes and empty my thoughts and heart out to our loving Father. My dear mother and grandmother use to say that they liked to picture our Lord hugging them when they were sad, and comforting them, what a lovely picture to have.

I am sure that those last few hours, the angels and our Lord was with her, and they walked through that awesome gate to heaven together, gives me chills thinking about it.

God bless you and thanks again.

good morning :^)

Good morning everyone. Seems funny to be leaving a message in a spring time thread because last evening it got really windy and started snowing. By morning we had and inch of snow and now that it's snowing again this morning who knows how much snow we'll end up with. I have ta say it does look kinda pretty though.

 

[Colleen1]

How funny, we did get about another inch of snow. It's still snowing a very wet snow but ironically all the snow is almost all melted away. Rather pretty out and the air smells nice and fresh.

 

[One day at a time]

Good afternoon all! Hope everyone are having a good day (even inspite of the snow)
