Earlier this year I lost my Mom to cancer. This is the first Mother's Day I celebrate without being able to tell my Mom in person that I love her. That I appreciate her and everything she has done for me, my family, and my Dad.
Drawing her since she passed has been the hardest and most amazing experience. Before drawing her, I prayed that I would be able to get this one right- that I would be able to look at this drawing and see my Mom and feel that I was looking into her beautiful eyes and feel her Spirit.
As I ponder about what to write next, all I can think about is what I know.... I know that death is not the end. I know that I will be with my Mom again. We will be together again because our Savior made that possible. His plan is simple, and it is real. Life is Eternal. Family is Eternal.
My heart aches for my Mom. I miss her terribly. I think of her every day. But death is no longer a scary or undesirable thing for me anymore- knowing who will be waiting for me on the other side with outstretched arms to welcome me back home. Forever.
I love you, Mom.
Happy Mothers Day.
