Today was the day that Christmas was officially over. I find myself very sad tonight as I drove my mom to the airport. I keep hoping this sadness will get easier over the years, but so far 1 1/2 years later it has not. I feel like such a big baby missing my mom so much, but the feelings are real none the less. I think of myself as always trying to be a positive thinker but for some reason this area is really hard for me to be positive about. That is the pity party that I am having for myself tonight. My prayer is that tomorrow I wake up and remember this wonderful life I have in Salem. I have a wonderful family, awesome friends, a great church, a beautiful home. All of these things were given to us because we followed the Lord's call for us to move here. I am going to allow myself a little more crying tonight and I just pray that you all will hang in there with me.

Nothing in this world is like being with someone you love so much and inreturn takes the utmost care of you. For so many years you spent everyday with this woman, so its no wonder that you miss her, especially when she lives so far away. You aren't having a pity party-you are dealing with missing someone very important to you, someone who makes up who you are. I will be praying for all my friends tonight, it sounds like we all have some pretty heavy things on our hearts. Just know that you are loved by us, and we will try to make it better-maybe even with a cup or two of coffee.
I'm so sorry. I know how hard it is to say goodbye to mom. She must be great because you are such an awesome mom and daughter. You know growing up doesn't mean growing away. If you are really lucky, you grow up and realize how great your parents are and much you appreciate all they've done. So go have a good cry and know your friends are supportive and praying for you.
For what it's worth, I am so glad that you live here. You add such a sweet spirit and big smile to our church and my life.
