- Every morning I wake up with a head full of things to do. I scramble around trying to put them in lists of importance all while trying to keep the peace within my little brood (trying to recall everything I've learned and read about parenting at the same time.) I love being a wife and the quirks that come with having my man forever. I love to be creative and thrive on crossing off my to do list. I strive to find balance and put first things first which brings me PEACE & JOY and allows me to sleep so much easier when I do. I think that one of the secrets to being HAPPY in life is to find that balance. I'm learning how to be kinder to myself and learning patience in progress. Everyday, through the thick and thin of life I'm trying to turn my heart towards heaven and remember what's really important.Oh, and I love to eat, so much so that I love to exercise too.

She's gone.
My mom passed away at 10:45 pm on Monday the 18th. I watched her take her last breath and I will never be the same. I understand now more than ever before how to mourn with those that mourn and comfort those in need of comfort. I feel empty, but full. Full of love for her, for my family, and for my Heavenly Father.

ReplyDeleteMy heart breaks for you. If I can do anything at all to help, please let me know. I know there will be hard days ahead.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your mom with us, and this journey. I have been so blessed by your example and testimony.
Kim, I am so sorry. Thank you for sharing her beautiful life and the journey with all of us. She was beautiful, inside and out. It truly makes us want to live as she did- faithful to the end. May you feel the Savior's love for you and your family during this time right now.
ReplyDeleteYou are in our thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteKim, I heard today and I'm so sorry. I know what it is like to lose a parent and it is not easy at any age. You have a firm hold on the Truth and I can tell that has sustained you. I'm sure your mom is proud of who you have become and will continue to peek in on your family here and there between all the work I'm sure she will be busy with on the other side. Sending you my prayers and love. Please let me know if your family should need anything.
ReplyDeleteDear dear Kim, My heart aches for you. It was just 4 years ago on Aug 4th that I was where you are right now and reading your words are as if I wrote them myself. You are so right that you will never be the same. The universe feels different when your Mom is gone and you feel things that you have never felt before. It feels as if you are in a different world than before,and I suppose that in a sense you are. No one can take the place of our Mom's and there is an empty spot in our hearts, and it is OK, and we will be OK. Praise God for the gospel and the infinite atonement, and the eternal plan of happiness that will bring us back together with our wonderful Moms and families. You are in my thoughts and prayers and I mean it sincerely that if you ever need someone to talk to on "those days", I am in the phonebook, or you can get my number from my daughter. I am so glad you had such a special and sacred time with you Mom before she passed. Those times, the love of the Savior, your family and friends will get you through. Love always, Tami
ReplyDeleteDear Kim,
ReplyDeleteWe're praying you feel the comfort and peace that only the Savior can offer.

May the Spirit comfort you.
ReplyDeleteI know it's hard, I am going through the same right now, but I know the Spirit can give lots of comfort.
Praying for you,

Kim,
ReplyDeleteYou don't know me, but I want you to know that your words touched my heart. I know that the Lord is with you and your family at this time. You seem to be a wonderful mother and daughter, poven by your sweet baby girl's words of faith. How precious these little ones Heavenly Father entrusts to us. Thank you for your testimony of love and motherhood, it is appreciated. My prayers are with you.
