Stampin' in the midwest

Well mom is gone..............and so is the sun. It went really well this morning with the exception of the fact that all 3 of the kids were up at 5:30 in the morning. So all 4 of us headed to the airport. For the most part there were only a few tears........which is amazing. Usually we are all bawling and it ends up being a very exhausting day. I know my tears will come later tonight, when it's all dark and I'll be feeling so alone, even though John is laying next to me. I know my mom was ready to come home, and I know my family in it's own way was ready for her to go home, but it still doesn't make me miss her any less. I think she has come to realize that we're meant to be here until we get a promotion to somewhere else. I'm so thankful for that, because it use to be so hard hearing her practically begging me to move home. I am so thankful to have my mom still living, because I know some day she won't always be just a phone call away. Julia over at Belle Papier just recently lost her mom, and she posted on her blog today about her, and I was bawling. I can't imagine not being able to just call up my mom anytime of the day. My heart goes out to everyone who has lost their mother, because I know a bond between a Mother and daughter is to be cherished forever.

So unfortunately with the sun being gone today, that means no photos of my cards, unless of course I can get my table cleaned up since I recently got an ott light and a special daylight light bulb for a lamp downstairs.........I might have to try that later today, after I'm feeling a bit better. Thanks for listening to me babble!! Hugs everyone.
