April 23 was the 7th anniversary of my beloved mother passing away.
I cannot believe it has been seven years, it seems just like it was yesterday.
Now, the tears are less and the pain has decreased, but that loss will never go away.
And nor should it. We have experienced a great loss and that needs to be spoken.
We live in a culture that wants to clean things up quickly and sterilizes the rest.
But no, we should remember, we should grieve and we should never forget.
In this "never forgetting" we also recall God's great work and grace.
We renew our hope in resurrection and are faith is Jesus is refreshed.
The faith that Jesus possessed is also ares and we need not worry that it is mixed with grief.
So here's to my mom-missed greatly, but still loved deeply.
Until we meet again. God's peace.
Pamela
