One year ago today

So many emotions are going through my mind today.  Knowing that this day changed my life forever.  But today this post is a post of gratitude to my Father in Heaven for the life he gave to me and to all those that I know.  I am grateful to be born into the wonderful and amazing family that I have.  I am grateful to the mother and father that spent countless hours raising me and my brothers.  And then had 4 more children 3girls and another boy.  How I am so lucky to have the amazing brothers and sisters.  They each teach me so many wonderful things.  I know that each of us knew each other before we came here to earth and we all promised each other that we would help each other get back to Father in Heaven.  I look up to my mom and   the way that she treated all those around her.  She was a social butterfly, and loved to make others smile.  She just had to walk into a room with her confidence that she wore as a smile.  She was a great leader that all that new her looked up to and respected.  I hope that I can follow in her foot steps and  continue the legacy she has left. Mom loved each of her children as Father in Heaven loves each of us.  Many of us have made some big mistakes in our lives and even so she never stopped loving or supporting us.  She always encouraged us to make right choice even when doing what was right meant it would be hard and painful at times.  She had a pure testimony of her Savior Jesus Christ and faith to move a mountain.  I could feel her testimony and see her faith in all that she did and said.  Mother are who I hope to be one day.  As I work each day and go about being a mother I try to think of what you would do and then do it.  I miss you here on this earth but know that you are in a place of complete and utter peace.  You mastered what you came here to master and now have moved on to continue to nurture your spirit and learn more of our Father in Heavens    plan.  Mom I am proud of you and all that you have taught me, I will not let it go I will keep it in my heart and mind and remember how much you love me and continue to honor what you have taught me.  I love you and want the best for you.
Please know that even though I miss you I will never forget you and the days that cry for you I will think of all the wonderful things you have done and then smile and move on!  I love you mom you are the strongest fighter I know.  I can not wait to see you again the time is sooner then we all think.  As you have proved the Lord takes us when he is ready not when we are ready.  Even though we were not ready for what came and the swiftness of the desease that ravished your body, the Lord gave you no  more than you could handle and he took you when he knew you were ready to go.  For that I am grateful, knowing that the Lord loves us so much that he does not give us what we can not handle.  I love you mom, you are still my rock and know that you are with your sister and together you guys are an amazing team working to bring happiness to those you teach and visit with.  I love you mom you are the greatest!!
