On this very day 9 years ago...the woman who gave me life, ceased living hers. The one thing that still resonates with me is that my mom's death was ABSOLUTE. She was absolutely dead lying in that casket. She absolutely would no longer be my compass. My life would absolutely never be the same...The death of a parent is something you never truly get over...you adjust and adapt because you have to and life goes on.
Earlier this evening the devestating news broke that Whitney Houston passed away. My first thoughts were of shock and disbelief. Then I thought of her family. She left behind a child, a mother, a brother, an ex-husband, and a host of other relatives. I didn't pass judgement on the icon that was known as Whitney Houston, I prayed strength for her family. The reason behind her death will not change the fact that Whitney is no longer alive. The one thing that is known for sure is that her death is absolute.
Psalm 30:5...Weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.
Matthew 5:4...Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Continue to R.I.P. Mama...I absolutely miss you.
Thank you for Seeing It Jen's Way.
Well put Jen. I agree. Your words are both descriptive of my emotions and comforting at the same time.
