Mothers Day, Best Friends and Chocolate Pie


Sitting here staring at a blank screen. I couldn't decide how to start my blog today,
So I started with my title and went from there. I got off work at 8 am this morning after working a 4pm to 8pm, then 8pm to 8am shift. First at Sarahs then Francis (across the hall from Sarah )at "Parkview" I had planned on going home and crawling in bed and sleeping awhile.Not knowing If I was going to make the 1 p.m.Service at my Church. Todays theme is "Mothers Day" And mine passed away July 10th 2006. That makes it alittle hard to sit through a service about Moms, I miss my Mom so much,She was a great Mom. She sacaficed everything she had to make sure we were well taking care of. Every day She would say "Son..I Love you."I remember talking with My Pastor,who happens to be a close friend of mine. One day about it. I said "My Mom tells me everyday She loves me." He said "appreciate those words one day she will be gone."And sure enough God called her home. Bloggers who are reading this, be sure to let your Family say I LOVE YOU..And when you say it to someone,Really let it come from the heart.

                             I got home about 8:20 a.m my best friend Mark called.(Ironically I was with him and his family the night my Mom passed).I had flown to Missouri to be his best man, my Mom insisted I go and spend some time with him.I hadn't seen him in three years and I wanted to meet his baby girl and wife Ok back to my blog anyways at 9 a.m He and his two kids showed up.We went and bought some flowers my Moms favorite.Bird of Paradise. and a balloon to release, I try to do that every year in memory of My Parents and my three Sisters whom have passed on..It seems to help me to do that. Mark use to call my Mom Lilly Bird.....He was her Second Son. He and I are longtime best friends actually more like Brothers 
He took the time to help me get through this day.Which was a Blessing.I have caring Friends, my faith in God and so much to be grateful for. What made it even more special was his two Children coming along.
 I let them release the balloon.Symbolically its a way of letting go heavey emotions.After we visted Moms grave and placed a single flower on two of my other two Sisters head stones.We decided to take the kids to the park and let them play awhile.He and I talked and laughed.I mean a it was a rare uncontrolable laugh a much needed laugh.The kind of of laughter that you cant stop.Afterwards we stopped and bought on the way at La Perla Tapatia a great Mexican place  to have lunch. Afterwards they dropped me back off at home and the three of them went to visit his wife at work.I got ready for Church.Had a great time. I was asked to assist on the plat form in honoring our Pastors Wife with a huge bouquet of Roses, That made me feel good. Almost forgot the third part of my title. I had promised to visit an Elderly couple and spend time with them.We played Gin rummy(I thinks thats the name of it) I haven't played cards in years. (S) really enjoyed our card game,She had one slice of chocolate pie and insisted I have it.So all in all today was very therapuetic.I am Blessed with Great Friends.A great Church and elderly people who appriciate the time given to them.I want to wish all You Moms
 A HAPPY MOTHERS DAY AND GOD BLESS YOU

    I don't believe Mother's Day will ever be easy for me since I lost my mom in 2007. I do enjoy the fact that my children celebrate me and I hope they never feel this sorrow. Glad you had help to get through the day.

    I agree when you lose your mom - Mother's day is hard. I always think of it as her day. What a nice friend to do that and be with you. sandie

    You are such a sweetheart, John, such a warm, caring person. Your Mom was as blessed to have you as you were to have her. I'm so sorry you've lost so many dear ones but so grateful to know that like me you have the LORD. What would we do without His sweetness, His dependability, the depth and greatness of His magnificent heart? Take care. Always praying for you.

Well I got the news today, After 13 months of paper work in and grieving the loss of my Dad. The papers came yesterday and the calls today. You have 60 days to be out, you are an unlawful detainer.The house your living in sold Oct 20th,I had gotten the loan. I got the attorney Mayhem Ford, I filed and faxed.  did everything I needed to do. And now they tell me under FHA policy I have to move 30 years of my parents stuff and empty out the house.So they can take a picture of the house empty. They tell me with such compassion. I almost believe them.Someone's been lying to me. I am going to court Feb 19th and present my case. I've been so sick with ulcers and H pylori This is the home that my Dad and Mom built with their bare hands, My Dad lived in less then two years. He was building it while battling lung cancer, None of us knew he was sick.( Not even Mom). This is the house where every holiday was spent. Many Christmas's and Thanksgiving dinners with Friends and Family....
