Karen,
I am so very sorry for your loss of your mom. I lost my dad 6 monthes ago coming up on november 2nd. I just cannot believe he is really gone from my life for now. I miss him sooooo much. Your mom sounds like a wonderful person and I am sure she is watching over you and is with you always. I read a prayer today that i think really is soo comforting to start each day" Lord, Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning< for I am trusting you. Show me where to walk, for I give myself to you.
I know God is always with us and is beside us every minute of every day even when we feel the most alone. You are in my prayers karen.
