Rememberance

As I was flipping through the channels on the TV today, I ran across a court show about a mother and daughter who were at odds about a car and money owed. It was very emotional and made me ell at the TV. I was so angry and just wanted to tell them both that money and a car are not worth ruining their relationship over and that they should be grateful for each other, because we aren't guaranteed tomorrow. Then, I looked down at Eli as I was feeding him and started bawling. I miss my mom and I wish she was here to see her grandson, give me advice and hang out with us. I know that she would love him dearly. It just makes me sad to think about the fact that she will never be able to watch him take his first step, say his first words, come to his birthday parties, start school, etc. And, it also saddens me to see other mothers and daughters, or fathers and sons at odds for trivial things that don't matter at all. The most important thing in the world is relationships and family and it is vital that we learn to forgive, reconcile and love one another. Just a few thoughts from a very emotional lady who misses her mom.
