I miss my mom every day. She’s been in heaven for twelve years. I try not to be sad about her being gone, especially on Mother’s Day. She would want me to celebrate, not mourn. I love Mothers Day, the flowers, the special brunch, and cards from my kids, but oh how I wish she could be included more than with just memories.
Sometimes I allow myself to get a bit carried away with my imagination when I’m missing her. I wonder what awesome things she’s doing up there. Is she at a Mothers Day brunch in heaven? I rationalize my wild thoughts, “Since there is a “Wedding Supper of the Lamb, and other mentions of heavenly feasts in the Bible, why not a brunch for mothers?”
I imagine what this brunch looks like. Flowers of marvelous colors in silver vases. And crystal bowls filled with fruit. And bread. And an angelic string quartet. And maybe a dance floor for mother-son dances. I did warn you that I get a bit carried away with my imagination.
I envision who is sitting at my mother’s table. Eve, Mrs. Noah, Sarah, Rebecca, Rahab, Ruth, Naomi, Mary, Eunice, and Lois! Wow! A banquet hall filled with the sheroes (lady heroes) of faith! All sharing their motherhood testimonies.
Someday I’ll have her introduce me to her friends.
Happy Mothers Day!

Happy Mother’s Day! Even though I miss my mom terribly, I know we’ll be together for Mother’s Day again someday.
