Happy Birthday Momma

Yesterday was my momma's birthday.  We were able to spend time at the cemetery enjoying her and the beautiful October day.  Mom loved being born in October and I would agree.  The air is crisp, the colors are amazing.

Before I got out of bed and the very early hours of the morning, I was thinking about the blessing mom received before she died.  Dustin gave her a blessing and it was a blessing of comfort that God had a plan for her throughout the eternities - a plan that I thought was the most perfect plan for my amazing mama.  He blessed her that she would be able to care for the children who died before their parents until their parents could come and raise them spiritually.  It was a wonderful memory and suddenly I felt a little slapped in the face.  That is EXACTLY what I am trying to do with foster.  If it was a worthy enough blessing to give comfort to someone who is dying, it is worthy.  Full stop.  It is WORTHY!  It is a legacy I can continue doing. 

We have our house moved around, now we need to set up beds, finish hanging pictures, and finding ways to make it homey.  While I was hanging pictures in my own room yesterday, I realized that it has been 8 months that we have been here and I hadn't even hung up a lot of pictures yet.  While I tried to get my room together, Mr. A said that it felt like a home instead of a hole.  I agree.

The Mama with the Mona Lisa smile.
