Rest in Peace Mom: Nutcracker Tribute

[joymercy]

Rest in Peace my dear mother.

She danced often-much like the stars she admired- around the house, teaching me her steps and love of music and dance.

I just saw this dance from The Nutcracker, but done the way my mom would have danced it, and wanted to share this:

It seems like there is so much death and dying lately. It seems like somewhere, somehow, someone else is dying.

I lost my father 4 years ago. I've lost aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, and now my beloved dad is gone as well. I have one living grandmother left. She's 91! But still alive somehow.

I'm sorry for your loss. I would be besides myself if my own mother died suddenly. She and I are very close.

I cannot begin to fathom your pain.

I lost my mother this year, so I stand with you before the Throne of Grace. May the Lord comfort you in your hour of pain as Christmas brings her back to mind.
