I Lost My Mom Recently And Found This

[WiVoter]

In her Bible. She was a Democrat through and through, and we had many conversations over the years about justice and mercy. I’ve been having kind of a hard time, with some good days here and there. She had this particular verse a little more highlighted than some others, so I know this meant a lot to her, and it is something she believed in. I feel the same way. I just thought I would share this with you all. ❤️

Go there.

8. That is a very special lasting message to leave you with.

She must have been a very nice mom. Very sorry for your loss, but glad you had her for as long as you did.

I saved that, so I can look at it every now and then. Thanks to your mom and you for posting it.

11. I expect this verse now means a lot to you, too.

How fortunate that you found it.

Wishing you serenity and someone to lean on.

14. Thank You 3catwoman3

12. How lovely that she not only focused on that line but took the time to mark it

Like the way Christians are supposed to pray in secret and not on street corners to impress everyone with how pious they are. She marked that passage with no knowledge of how you’d see it one day… it resonated with her and it was special to her in the truest sense.

What a beautiful way to find out a little more about her, and what a wonderful gift to leave behind.

I’m so sorry for your loss. She must have been such a delightful person.

[WiVoter]

13. Thank You renate

Your words touched me deeply ❤️
And you’re right about some Christians. My mom was rather private about her beliefs, but not with me. I will miss our talks, but thankful I have so many to remember. ❤️

15. THat's so special ...

I found some little notes in my mom's jewelry box last summer after she passed.
One was a quote from a movie she really loved from back in the 80's "Windwalker"

"Do not fear death, for as Spring begins, So death begins with birth.
It is only a step in the Great Circle of Life!"

What's interesting is that this was a VHS movie, which means for her to write it down, she would have had to rewind it a couple times... so it meant al lot to her.
And it was written in her beautiful handwriting, which had declined after her first stroke...

Huge Hugs for your loss... it hasn't been a year and I think of her every day...


I'm so very sorry

[marieo1]

16. Thanks

Thanks a lot for the message...............hugs to you for the message.

[soldierant]

17. I like it. A lot. It's a bit more specific

than the so-called "Micah mandate" (Micah 6:8) - although the world would be almost as much better off if it were faithfully observed as well.
.
And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.

(New International Version)

[Abigail_Adams]

18. That's just the right message.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

21. May you find Peace

In that verse she wanted you to live by.

[Roy Rolling]

22. Your Mother is Impressed from wherever she is

What a wonderful message to live by, what a wonderful tidbit to leave with her worldly possessions, and what a wonderful thing that you shared her important thoughts with all of us on DU.

What a mov8ng tribute to your mother. 😍

[WiVoter]

23. Thank You Roy

❤️

24. My Mom had a well-worn Bible, too. Her last words to me, when she knew the cancer had won,

were "Just say a prayer---AND GO ON."

I'm still going, but I still miss her, too. I don't think one gets over grief; they usually, though, get through it.

Hang on. It's what she would want.

[orleans]

It was the most profound loss of my life.

Like your mom, mine was a woman of faith and really walked the walk.

Big hugs to you! Thank you for sharing.

Edited to add: I am SOOO glad she lived to see Joe Biden become President.
