![]() ![]() From this experience, we learned a valuable lesson–there is always a reward for those who endure hardships and obey God (2 Timothy 2:3). When dad stopped pastoring in his ministry, we went through difficult times for a few years. Mother’s devotion to God and love for my dad was absolute. Through her example, we learnt to push on even when things seemed impossible. This tribute to my late mother can’t even express the smallest love and gratitude I have for her. She was the poster child of a godly mother. I thank God everyday for what mom taught me through the years. I know you are in a better place, but my heart bleeds that you are no more.Ī mother’s heart is the child’s classroom. She was always there with her warm touch. My Mom was always there for me no matter how big or how small. She held my hand and talked to me and told me how beautiful my son was and how proud she was of me. She sat by my side the whole time while I was recovering, even though the hour was late and she had to work the next day. This was her first Grandson and she wasn’t going to miss anything. She stood over the nurse and watched with patience while they cleaned him up. I remember the joy and excitement on her face when my son was delivered. ![]() I remember she was brave and tried to look over the curtain to see what was going on but sat down quickly and took my hand again. My Mom was able to come into the operating room and be there by my side holding my hand while my son was delivered. That my Mom was there and no matter what happened everything was going to be just the way it was supposed to be. I just remember her love and concern and the touch of her hands comforted me and left me with a peace and calm that everything was going to be all right. My Mom got cool wash clothes and put them on all my pressure points, my forehead, my wrists, my ankles. I had 115 fever and was told that if it didn’t go down soon they would have to begin the operation. ![]() She knew how scared I was about this operation and she did everything in her power, above the doctors, to try and stop it from happening. There were complication with my pregnancy and it was determined that I was going to have to have a c-section. One of the most wonderful memories I can think of at this moment of my Mother is the day my oldest son was born. I want to tell you and the world you’ll always be in our hearts forever. I hope you are in a better place looking down on us and nodding your head in approval. I wish you were around on my wedding day, when I walked down the aisle. But you’d have been proud of me on my college graduation. I wish i had the chance to say goodbye – one last hug. Could I have missed out on something that others get from their mothers? I’ll never know. I often wonder what lessons you’d have taught me if you were still around. I remember getting into trouble for giving my little brother wedgies, or for eating too much candy. I wish you could see my son.The only memory I hold is the withering photographs and the faint memories. I often wish you could come back and see my beautiful sister. ![]() I long for your warm hugs every time my heart is broken. As a single mother, you provided everything we needed. The only thing I remember is your persistence and fiery attitude. Most times it feels like it was yesterday, and other times it feels like it’s been hundreds of years since I last saw your warm and bubbly face.I haven’t the slightest clue where you could be in the afterlife, but I really wish I could see you again. No one can really understand the pain of going through life without such an important part of you. No words can describe the feeling when I realize that you are no more. ![]()
