It is with sadness and a heavy heart that I must let you all know that my mom passed away at approx 2:30am this morning. She and my dad were here in Colorado while he recovered from a broken hip.
I will be away from blog-world for about a week, while my sisters, my dad and I travel to Oklahoma for my moms funeral.
Please dont give up on me, I should be back on Monday March 2 or Tuesday March 3.
Until then, to those of you who still have moms in your life, please call them and tell them that you love them.
Before I go, I have to put down the lyrics from the song by Eric Clapton that was playing as I drove to my sisters house, after my mom had passed. I dont have to tell you how much I believe in heaven after hearing this, it made me feel at peace.
Tears In Heaven
Would you know my name if I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same if I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven.
Would you hold my hand if I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand if I saw you in heaven?
I'll find my way through night and day,
'Cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven.
Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees.
Time can break your heart, have you begging please, begging please.
Beyond the door there's peace I'm sure,
And I know there'll be no more tears in heaven.

Tonjia, Oh my God, I am so sorry. Was this unexpected? Because I do not remember her being ill in any way. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May God guide you through this difficult time. Love to you.
Oh Dear Gpd Tonjia! I just saw this on Facebook. Oh sweetie, I am so sorry! You know you are in my prayers and I'll be thinking of you and your family. My Mom passed away 5 years ago and oh gosh, I know how you are feeling! I'm sending you huge gigantic hugs!
Love you!
Debbie

I am so very sorry to hear this. My thoughts and prayers are with you all and especially your dad. Such a loss.
I am so sorry for your loss, Tonjia. Travel safely and cherish this time with your family as you celebrate your mom's life. I will be thinking of you this week, as nothing has ever been harder for me than having to go on without my mom. I miss her so much. Lean on your friends for support. You all helped me so much!
Tonjia, I am so sorry for the loss of your mom. I have mine and my dad, being very blessed to have not lost much family in my life. So I do not know the pain you are going through, I just know that I am so sorry and my heart aches for you and for the fear that my time is coming soon. I don't like this part of life. It is the missing them that makes it so hard I would think. I hope your pain will subside just a little as time moves forward. I will pray that you have a very safe journey back here to Oklahoma, and I will pray your dad will have the strength to go on with his life. We will be thinking of you this week and hope your family will find some peace with the song you posted. No more tears in Heaven...pretty peaceful huh?
Tonjia, I am so sorry. You and your family are in my prayers. My mom has been gone for 41 years now and I miss her more with each passing day. The Eric Clapton song is what got me through a horrible miscarriage. Music can help you get through. Know you're loved and if there is anything I can do just say the word. Travel safe.
Oh Tara. I am so, so incredibly sorry. Regardless of the circumstances, losing your Mom is a horrible loss. You are, and will continue to be, in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this process. My Mom's death was part of what lead me to blog. We are thinking of you while you're gone, and will be here for you when you get back.
Love, hugs, and PRAYERS!
My heart is very sad for all of you. Please know that I am praying for God's comfort and peace upon you all, as you journey down this most difficult road.

I am so sorry to hear about your moms passing. I lost my mom in 2006 and I still miss her terribly. Take all the time you need. We will all still be here. (Where else do we have to go?)
Tonjia, I am so sorry to hear about your mom. It's a horrible thing, and you'll always miss her. I will be thinking of and praying for you and your family. We'll be here whenever you're able to blog.
I wanted to let you know, I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. I am thinking about you and praying for your family. Be careful, and I'll be here when you return to blog.
God Bless~
