Tomorrow Is Not Promised
This Friday is my mom's birthday, she will be 54 years old. I am doing my blog early so I can spend time with her this weekend and actually have a break from school. I am getting so burned out. I am glad my mother is still here with me because one of my friends lost her mother last week in a horrible accident. She and her mother were very close, like me and my mother. She is trying to be strong and not have a breakdown, but I think she needs to let it all out. I think one of the worst things you can do is hide your feelings, in any situation. When you hide feelings they build up, or you lose your chance to let someone know how you feel about them; because tomorrow is not promised. I am terrified to lose my mother or father. I feel I still have things to learn from them, there are still things I want them to see, there are still places I want to take them. I want them to see me get married (if that ever happens) and have kids. I have not had anyone that I am real close to in my family pass away; I have been fortunate because I am not good with peoples deaths. I try not to think about it but I know it has to happen one day but hopefully not for a long time.

I hope you enjoy your weekend with your mother. I am glad to see that you don't take the time that you have with your mother for granted. I lost my mom the month before my 21st birthday. We were very close to each other. I understand how your friend is feeling. I tried to be strong as long as I could. After about a month, I finally let it all out, and it felt like a huge burden had been lifted off of me.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your mom! I'm sure yall are having fun. I lost my great grandmother some years ago. I have a small family so it was hard at first but we do support each other so we helped each other get through. I will make sure to pray for your friend and her family.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately that is a certainty (everyone's death). Remember to tell your loved one's how much you love them and how much they are needed. I pray that your mother has a joyous day.

ReplyDeleteDeath is an inevitable part of life. Everyone shows their grief in different ways. I am sure that your friend is dealing with it the best way that she can for now. Just be there for her if she needs you. Unfortunately, the older you get, the more loved ones you lose. Never leave bad feelings or words with a loved one that you will regret upon their loss. You are very lucky to still have and be so close to your mother. Never take advantage of that and always let her know how much she means to you. Spend as much time as you possibly can with her and the rest of your loved ones. The good memories are a comfort to those of us that remain here. I hope she has a wonderful birthday with you.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your mom. Enjoy every day you have with her.
