Some days I miss my "old" mom so much. Today was one of those days. I don't have them very often. I am usually able to focus on the amazing blessing we were given of keeping her here with us for longer but some days...some days are hard.

Everyday is a struggle for her. I looked at her today and I could see it in her eyes. She looked so sad and worn down. My sweet momma is tired.

Today I wish I could go back in time and change things. I wish I could have my happy, energetic, fun-loving mom back.

I love her for the example of true faith that she has been to me. Her life has been far from easy yet she has always remained true to her faith and her beliefs.

I'm not writing this for pity...mostly I am just having a pity party for myself. But as hard as these days are I like to be reminded that my mom was once that person. Memories are sweet blessing in this life.

So maybe when you are out running your daily errands and you come across someone who you pass a silent jugdement on think about them a little more. They may have been born into a circumstance they had no control over or had their life changed in the blink of an eye and are now doing the best they can to make it through each day. Remember that we all came from a loving Heavenly Father who cares for each of us and watches over us as we go through life.
