This is the day that my mom passed away. It is so hard to believe that she has been gone for 3 years. Somedays it seems like she just left, others it seems like she has been gone forever. I miss her so much everyday of my life. There are some days that as me and Tevita are driving down to Richfield, I just start crying. He just holds my hand and cries with me. We both miss her so much. Tevita found the following and I thought it sounded about right.
God saw you getting tired and a cure was not meant to be
So he put his arms around you and whispered, "come to Me."
With tearful eyes we watched you, as we saw you pass away
Although we loved you deeply, we could not make you stay.
Your golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest
God broke our heart to prove to us, He only takes the Best!
That is so true! He did take the best when He took my mom. I so wish I could have one more hug from her. I wish she would have been there to see my little girl get baptized. I wish she was going to be in the hospital room as her grandson is born. I wish I could tell her just one more time that I love her so much and I am so thankful for everything she did for me. I am so sorry about being a brat to her. She was my best friend and I miss her deeply. I love you mom~

Jodi, what a beautiful tribute to such a wonderful woman. I'll never forget how your sweet mom welcomed me in her home when I went to the Tech and we'd go there between classes. I was actually just thinking about that today. She was always such a kind lady. I can't even imagine how hard it is for you and your family to go on without her. I know I've told you before, but I have no doubt she's smiling at you from Heaven and is so very proud of the fine woman, wife and mom you are. You had a great role model to look up to.
I have enjoyed reading your posts. Your mom was such a great person and I know that she knows how much you love her. I didn't know that your daughter was born on 9/11/01. That will always be a day that you'll never forget. Collin and I named our little girl after the city in Texas that we lived in on 9/11/01. It has special meaning to us.
Reason #2 why I don't check blogs often, because you make me cry. That was really sweet. I know your mom is watching you right now and so proud of you and keeping a close eye on Tevin until he is hear. Hugs, Heather
It was just my mom's birthday and I was thinking about how some years it's easier and some years it's harder (like this one was for me) and then I read your blog. My heart empathizes with yours.
