I had a break down today and cried like a baby as I held one of her favorite tops and looked at the picture of her taken Christmas 2007. It was the best picture of her I had seen in years. Even though she was blind from diabetes she looks as if she is looking right at me with the most beautiful smile. I guess I needed to cry and I probably will again. I still have questions I want to ask her or something I want to tell her and then I realize she is not here and it hurts. I think many in my family feel that way. I miss her so much. I just have to remember that she is heaven with our Lord and all his glory and then I am alright.
On a more cheerful note. I finished my 20 cards for the ZNE Calling All ATC Swappers Valentine Swap and they are ready to go out in the mail.
VALENTINE ATC 1 of 20 copiesI did 4 collages for my great nieces for their birthdays next month along with matching note cards and I also entered an altered envelope I did last Valentines day for an Etsy Cottage Style Challenge.
My altered envelopeI plan to give my blog a face lift this week and work on more Comfort Dolls. This raining season can really make you blue if you don't keep busy. I am so grateful for all the warm friendships I have discovered through my blog and Thank God for each one of you.

Dear Lord hear my prayer,
for my loved ones in your care.
From here to heaven they did surge,
so here on earth we sing a dirge.
We dance with joy that they are there,
in your kind and loving care.
No place could match the place above.
Filled with your sweet and generous love.
So here i wait in this earthly place,
till i can see my loved ones face to face.

i could feel so much of what your words said, patti...i lost my mom 8 years ago this march....and i can so vividly remember that it got harder as time went on because i realized she wasn't coming back...i wouldn't get her phone call and wouldn't hear her voice....but then i started dreaming about her, and even though it was disappointing to wake up and realize it was a dream...it was time spent with my mom.......and it meant so much to me.....praying for your comfort...sounds like you had a wonderful mother.
hugs,

Hi Patti, I know that pain too, and can relate to your feelings so much ! I still cry for my dear Father who was also my best friend. It is probably the most difficult part of life, loosing those we love. But try to remember all of the good times, that is what they would want us to do. Sending a hug to you, Patti.
Your friend,
Lin
Patti,
I have been where you were. The crying is good. And even though you may not feel her hug, she is giving it in heaven.

I feel the same way about my dad, Patti--please know that my thoughts and sympathies are with you--if you ever need to talk, email me with your phone number, and I'll send you mine! Love you, Jann
Hi Patti,
I am so sorry about your Mama. While many have been through the loss of their parent, yet we feel so alone. I pray that God will comfort you as only He can and I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Thank God that we have Art to help channel our emotions.
Take good care,
Hugz, Norma Jean Adams
