Heart Repair


My friends, are you in need of some heart repair? I know I am, not just physically, but emotionally also. This week is always a rough one, my momma passed away on April 21, 2006 I cannot believe that she has been gone two years already. It was on a Friday when I walked down the hallway into her room, my nightmare began. This week, I feel as if my heart has been ripped open, and all the pain, and memories are flooding over me. I have been reliving every single moment from that day. My sister was suppose to come down Friday, and go to Alabama with me on Saturday to visit mommas grave. We were going to take her back home on Sunday. I was really looking forward to this, I needed her to be with me this weekend. But, she called today, and she changed her mind. She will not be coming down at all, I am so disappointed. I am not mad at her, I accept it. My heart is crying out for my momma, and for my sister. I am not going to gripe and complain though, because I know my momma is in a much better place, and praise God we will be back together again one day. I am so very thankful that I have a personal relationship with the master seamstress, and I know that He can, and will, sew up my battered and torn heart, with the precious thread of His love.

Oh Denise I am so sorry about your sister not coming any more. I feel your pain about missing your mother. I'm praying that our heavenly father will wrap you in his loving arms during this time.

Denise, I am so sad that you are reliving your pain of losing your mom. I am reliving pain too. A different kind as you know.

Lord, please come to Denise's side. Minister to her broken heart. Show her how much you love her and care about every detail of her life. Please Lord bring more healing to Denise on the 21st. I pray it's a day of remembrance. A beautiful day. Thank you for the comfort of knowing heaven awaits us all. Hug my friend, Denise. Hold her close.

Wow, Denise, I can't believe it's been 2 years either. I am so sorry your sister isn't coming. Maybe she will change her mind.
Much love to you!

I haven't had to deal with that yet. Lost my husband's parents and THAT was hard. I am so sorry. Thank the Lord above that He has promised us no more tears and no more good-byes and no more death. I hope that somehow you are able to do something to mark the day that will help deal with your loss here on this earth now, no matter what we have to look forward to in heaven we miss them so much now. Love and hugs!

I SO!!! know what you're saying. Both my folks passed, I was beside my mother when she breathed her last, and I can see it in my dreams...it's just so vivid a memory. And that was 18 years ago!!!! When my tears flow, I let them fall....it helps.


Thanks for the visit and the wonderful comment...you made my day!
