The loss of a mother

Today one of my best friends lost her mother. That sounds like such a mild statement for the anguish I know she is feeling. Her mother was with her before she was born and there everyday of her life. She taught her to walk, talk, be a friend, be a mother, and how to give back to the world with a generous heart. The person she owes her life to and the person who molded her into the fabulous person she is today.

She sees her mother in the face that looks back at her in the mirror, in the hands of your own daughter, and in the phrases and mannerisms of her sisters.

Even though her mother is gone, she surrounds the daughter that still loves her, and the family that grieves for her.

My friend feels like an orphan, rudderless, and abandoned. Please send her you prayers and call your mother today.
