"A Sunset On Earth Is A Sunrise In Heaven...."

"A Sunset on Earth is A Sunrise in Heaven"
Matt Anderson


A year ago today, Mom left the arthritic, Parkinson's riddled and confused body that carried her through 80 years on this earth and witnessed a "SUNRISE" like none of us could imagine in our wildest dreams.

Today is a day of special remembering......and blessings!!!

From my prayer journal on this day last year:

"....Oh Father, thank You for the blessing....yes....the BLESSING and GRACE of taking her home to be with You where she feels no more pain, no more anguish, where she is young once again and HAPPY.  Father, my heart is leaping for joy that she is no longer a captive in the worn out body she occupied up until today at 1:11 pm.  Father, thank You for answering our prayers for her....thank You for the promise of being a loving, caring, merciful God to us. 

I believe, in some small corner of her mind, she knew her family was ready.  Thank You for placing me in the family that I am in.....Thank You for the mother You gave me.....I know her life wasn't always easy....matter of fact....most of the time it was quite difficult....but she endured, she continued to love, she continued to reflect You in her life....and she taught us all to love You.  Bless her, Father, and tell her today how very very much she was loved here on earth.  Oh to have been a bug on the wall of Heaven today to see her homecoming!! 

Father, thank You for all the love and support and prayers that have been given on my behalf.  There are no words that I can find to describe the gratefulness that I feel towards those who love me.  One never really knows how much they are loved until times like this.  I realize most people have been down the road I'm currently traveling on missing my Mom....my best friend...and I hope that it makes me a more understanding.....better friend....to others when they walk the road I'm walking right now. Thank You for these kind folks....."


 Today.....I'm so very THANKFUL for the memories of Mom that I will carry with me, tucked deeply in my soul, until the day I take my last breath.

I have heard it said that when you get to a certain age when the scales tip and you have more loved ones over there than you do here. I am starting to understand what that means. PS. Your mother was a lovely lady.

Oh Liz this is so beautiful! I loved your mom so much! I remember her from DJA better than any of the other teachers I had. I don't think I would have gotten through first grade math without her! You are an awesome daughter! Thank you for sharing this!
your forever friend,
