TWO YEARS TODAY.....

It is two years today since I lost my beautiful Mum...
The tears haven't come the same this year,  but there is definately an emptiness in our lives..
I have really missed my Mum these last few weeks, especially today...
I still hear her words of wisdome...
I still hear her laugh,
The memories of all the good times are there in my mind as if they were happening right now...
I am so thankful and grateful that God blessed me with a mother as beautiful as mine, both inside and out...
I am often told I am the dead ring of my Mum, and it makes me feel proud...
If I could be half the woman my Mum was,  I would be extremely happy.
Mum was a woman of Grace,  she practiced hospitality,  she accepted all who came across her path without making judgements...   She was an encourager,  she would support you come what may...
I miss your laugh
your wisdom
Your gentle spirit
your servant heart
your compassion and understanding
Mum,  I love you,  you are missed dreadfully, although we know you are at rest, and that you are at home with the God you have served almost all your life....
We know we will see you again one day....
A photo share of my beautiful Mum...

She was a stunning woman....

Always had a smile on her face, and laughter in her eyes.

I am hoping that it all gets just that little bit easier...
but there will always be a big hole in my heart....
I miss you constantly Mumg
I miss the way you always made us feel so special...
God blessed us incredibly by allowing us to have you as a Mum...
I LOVE YOU MUM.
