I Miss You Mom

I miss you mom. Right now I want to talk to you and hear your sweet voice and to embrace your steady confidence in Jesus and your constant and deep love for me. The missing makes me long for your goodness given by our perfect heavenly Father. Missing you makes me long for heaven.

I miss you mom. A right word spoken with such grace and truth. The reliable kindness of your tone and the predictably caring way you spoke to me. What a great mom I have been given. Greater now than ever. I miss you mom.

I miss you mom. Right when I needed a soft and gentle touch you were there. You personified peaceful love given joyfully to all who found our way in front of your overflowing heart. What an amazing picture of Jesus love you were and are.

I miss you mom. Right now I want to see you and talk to you. How often I begin to pick up the phone to call you as I did over the past 30 years. Always accessible. Always encouraging. Mom, thanks for loving me so well. Thanks for being you.

I miss you mom. Right now your absence is more noticeable than ever. 71 days in heaven and your joy continues to grow. I wouldn’t ask you to come back and honestly you wouldn’t want to come. Just know I’m really missing you right now.
