Today my Momma would have been 88 years old, and I miss her just as much as I did, the day she passed away. Somehow we always think that momma will always be there, she was there the day we were born, and thru every skinned knee and heart break in our life. So you always think it is forever.
Oh there are lots of regrets, moving away from her, not going to see her as often as I should have. We all get caught up in our own little world, and get too busy for the small things in life and then we have to live with our regrets. You move away to make a better life for yourself and to make more money, wondering if you will get the chance to say hello or goodbye again in person.
Life is short and we need to tell those we love how much they mean to us,I did this with my Mom,but mostly after I finally moved her to Missouri. But by this time her mind was almost gone, and she didn't always know who I was.
Some of my greatest regrets, have been not taking the time to see loved ones or even talk on the phone to them. We moved to Missouri from Oklahoma 24 years ago, and on a Sunday the week before we moved, My Brother called and wanted us to come to his house, but, Ronnie was going to be baptized that day so we couldn't, and he understood and was very happy for Ronnie, And little did I know I would never talk to him again. He was struck by lightning 5 days after we moved. My sister called me in June of 1999 and talked for a while, but I had to get off the phone because of business, I never spoke to her again, she died in August1999. Oh if I could only turn back the clock.
We can't go back no matter how bad we want to, and even as i speak to my kids today I know they always think there is tomorrow, but sometimes there isn't.
But my mom was the greatest, and I miss her!!!!!!!
