Today is my mom's birthday. I miss her like crazy! Her birthday always falls close to Mother's Day so that's another reminder to me. I won't say it's any easier now...but it is different. I wish my boys could have met her here on earth. They would love her, and she would love and spoil them like crazy! It will be fun as they get older to share crazy stories about her with them. I wish I could pick up the phone or e-mail her and tell her all the little things that happen, especially now with the kids.
I am very thankful for all the "grandmas and aunties" that my boys have in their lives! God has really blessed us with amazing people to share this journey with.

Amy, You made me cry. My mom (and dad) have both been in heaven since 2001 and 2002. I know the feeling of wishing I could just pick up the phone and call my mom just to talk or tell her something about the kids or grandbabies. I know what you mean about it just being different. Praise God we will see them again someday! I am so thankful for the time I had with her (and my dad) here on earth. You had a wonderful mom and I know she would love your boys! Thanks for sharing as you did here.
Wow, I didn't realize your mom's birthday is so close to Mother's Day. You have soooo many great memories of her and it will be fun to share those with your boys as they grow.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing this, Amy.
Oh Amy, my heart aches for you. I am so incredibly blessed to have my Mom here on earth still and to be able to pick up the phone whenever I want to tell her about something cute or silly one of the kids did. I'm positive that your Mom is laughing her butt off at your two little cuties from heaven!! :) It'll be such a special thing to share stories with them of her as they get older like you said. She was such a hoot!!! I came across some picture of her the other day from Women's Retreat at Trout...we were all doing the zipline together!! What fun memories. Thanks for this post - even though it made me cry right as the painter rang the doorbell. Doh!! :D
Thanks Amy- for sharing this- for sharing your mom and Lindi with me- and for letting me be one of the "aunties" for your precious boys- I love you all so much.
Thank you for your post! I agree. Those Grandmas are up there just enjoying it all. My Dad and I joke that we keep getting a busy signal when we call her. It definitely is the little things that you tend to miss the most.
Thinking of you and lifting you up in prayer.
I'll try again:
I love you, Aim!
Thanks for sharing Amy. I was just thinking about your Mom alot this week and how much I miss her. She was certaintly one of a kind and the best friend anyone could ever have. She would be so proud of you.
Your boys are absolutely beautiful. I'm so glad that you will get to be staying home with them. Happy Mother's Day.
Thanks for sharing. I know you posted this awhile ago. I just read it now. I believe it must be harder after having your own kids. Wanting her to share these moments with you.
Josh always says what a outgoing and fun person she was. He always says...she was just like Amy. She must have been neat. =)
