This Mothers day, for me,  is a sad one.  She departed this current realm in which we dwell on 09 January 2014.  We had one of the worst snow storms prior to her leaving. I was out of power for 3 days and so dealing with keeping sub zero temperatures from destroying the House Of Blue.  When the power came back I attempted to contact her and wished to stop by.  Her husband Jim said she was asleep and could not see visitors.  This continued for two days in a row and a Thursday Morning I got messages while at work for me to call my father and Jim as well.  She had passed away at 9:00 AM.  She had fought breast cancer and the complications of it for over 4 years.  It has been one of the hardest things in my life to deal with.  My mother and I were like twins in so many ways so a part of me is missing now.  I could say however that a part of her lives on in me.  I continue to carry out her work in assisting animals and talking to friends.  Mother always was very communicative, never lacking something interesting to say.  She told me her mind worked on 5 different levels continuously.  I have the same gift or curse depending on how you look at this.  I miss her.  I have trouble wanting to talk with her and not being able to.  So I speak with her in my dreams and daily thoughts.  Thank you mother for creating me and guiding me to this point in life.  Know that you live on through others. And to you a happy Mothers day I do wish.
