As I was posting pictures a moment ago, I came across the ones that were taken last year on Mother's Day. It was a wonderful day. Mom & Alvin met us after church at the Olive Garden in Weatherford for lunch. While we were eating Don called to tell us that they would be in Azle at Mom's that afternoon. So we hurried and all 4 of us drove to Azle to be there when they arrived. They had never seen Alvin's house before and we were all looking forward to seeing Don & Marion.
Alvin, Mom's husband, was a big game hunter and his "trophies" are in their garage. Look at the pictures that I took of us all together in there that day. I love the expression on Don's face as she was standing beside the bear! LOL
After seeing the garage we went into their lovely home where we sat and visited a while. Don gave Mom a Mother's day card and signed it saying that " this will probably be the last mother's day card he would ever give to her." He was right.
Still so hard to believe it's been 10-1/2 months since Don died. I miss him terribly...everyday! I miss talking with him, being with him, I miss our texts and emails.
Mom misses him so much too. She will cry at the drop of a hat at any thought of him. She is comforted in knowing Don is in heaven with our Lord Jesus Christ who he grew to know and love his last 3 years or so of his life. This is the only real comfort we have.
I know Mother's day is next Sunday, and now both my Mom and Pauline (Marion's mom) are each without a son. Please pray for them this week and all of us in the days and weeks ahead.
I've heard it said that time heals all wounds, well I need a lot more time to heal over the loss of Don & Marion.
