A treasure she took with her. =) Thank you so much for sharing the love of your mother with us as well as your heartfelt lyrics.<br />I don't think we ever stop missing our mothers.

On her last celebration, she'd been in bed a year already and went to be with Jesus that August 2, so she didn't NEED anything, so I wrote her a new song...or rather sang it :) Here are the lyrics:<br />You never gave up on me.<br />You always believed in me.<br />You faithfully guided me and prayed me through the years!<br />You kissed away so much pain.<br />Together we’d laugh again.<br />You listen and understood and wiped away my tears.<br /><br />Oh, a mother is a servant. She’s a picture of the King.<br />She’s the one who does the dishes and keeps the house so clean.<br />And though a mother can’t be perfect, <br />Mine seems pretty close to me<br />‘Cause when I see my Mama’s face, <br />I see Jesus.<br /><br />Our tradition was getting together for dinner. I had her all to myself for eight years :) Then she blessed me with a baby sister then 3 yrs later, a brother and I had to share her :)<br />Caryl McAdoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392468033143238490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908284284859079079.post-60558141932504097912016-05-09T11:43:46.595-07:002016-05-09T11:43:46.595-07:00Hello, Kristin!
