Welcome to One Breath From Heaven
Mothers Day, a special day set aside for Moms everywhere. Cards, flowers, phone calls, dinner out, etc. are just some of the ways we honor them.
But what happens when the one we raised, our son or daughter, is no longer with us? That's different, unusual, friends may not know what to say.
I have to admit, there are some reminders like today that magnify the loss of losing my son. Perhaps you're struggling as well.
The thought occurred to me this morning 'If he could, what would my son say to me today?'
"Happy Mothers Day Mom. Miss you. I'm safely home and looking forward to seeing you again one day."
The distance between Heaven and earth is less than a second; a blip that takes us from this imperfect world where death is a part of life to our new life, perfect, whole and complete. No more death, loss, pain, or heartbreak; just joy in being reunited not only with our loved ones but with Christ. We're talking one big reunion forever. That's a long time.
Virtual hugs to you today.

THE END?
Welcome back to One Breath From Heaven. If this is your first time visiting, rest assured you aren't alone in this journey. There are many of us who understand the path you're now on. We may not know you but we're praying for you just the same.
As an Author, there's something about those last two words when the book is completed; 'The End.' It's finished, complete, ready to go.
But I want to talk to you about the other most important 'The End'
I miss my son. I miss his smile, his kindness, his love of animals, especially cats. I miss what was the most important part of my life.
The sense of loss never completely goes away. It seems endless.
But that's not what the Bible says. My thinking is out of line.
I would never have wished my son to go ahead of me, but over the years I've seen (and still do), how God works it all out.
This morning I visited BibleProbe.com and read the signs of end times. (Shiver)
I'll leave it up to you to visit the site. From what I've read, let me tell you, Praise God I'm a Christian.
It makes me thankful that my Donnie will never experience what is to come (and already has begun.)
It makes me thankful to know that just as I looked forward to his birth, it may be the same way he feels while he's waiting for me.:)) It makes me happy to know there will be an 'The End'.
Heaven is full of kids whose lives ended too soon. But remember, their 'forever' life is what they're given, in the loving presence of our Savior. And we'll all be together again one day.
The End.
My prayers are with you today.
Blessings,
