The Rainbow Connection

The day I've been dreading is here.

A year ago today the Lord called her home.

Leading up to today we all said we were going to try and treat this just like any other day, just so we could make it through.

But, when you have the " Hallmark" lady for your mother, dates have a way of haunting you.

Will the 26th of October ever really be any other day than what it has become?

 I don't think so.

There is so much to say... yet I can't say it.

So, I'll just share this with you.

Not long after mom died, my sister started seeing rainbows.

Someone told her that that was her mom communicating to her.

I have to say I was skeptical.

Until...

I started seeing them too, and then Ella.

Some may say the rainbows were there all the time we just didn't notice them before.

But, like the song goes ..So we've been told and some choose to believe it,

I know their wrong wait and see.

you may not know this but  there is actually another verse to this song.

This verse says it all for me.

Why are there so many songs about rainbows?

That's part of what rainbows do.

Rainbows are lifes memories

Sweet dream reminders

What is it you'd like to do?

All of us watching and Wishing you'd find it

I know that your watching too.

Someday you'll find it, the rainbow conncection

the lovers, the dreamers, and me.

Lifes like a movie, write your own ending

Keep on  believing and Keep on pretending

We've done just what we set out to do.

Someday you'll find it

the rainbow connection

the lovers, the dreamers and me...

Here's to hoping you are a dreamer and a believer too.

Love to you all

Hi Diana,
Thank you so much for the sweet comment you left on my blog. Your work is so beautiful and your beautiful spirit just comes right thru in all of your work. I'm so, so sorry about your mom. I cannot imagine. What a beautiful lo you did of her. I look forward to your friendship and am so honored that we met in Lizzy's class. {{{Hugs}}}}

I believe it! After my son died we started seeing butterflies everywhere. They would come right up to us and fly around us in a circle. And that's the kind of thing that doesn't usually happen when you have a preschooler running around like a tornado!

Take today one minute at a time. I'll be saying a prayer of comfort for you and your family today.

Wow... I visited your blog to see your cute LIzzyK mini (I'm taking the class but am woefully behind). Yours is lovely but this is the post that truly touched my heart. What a beautiful tribute to your mother... sometimes I think the rainbows we see through our tears are much brighter and more colorful, tinted by love and memories. I hope your special rainbow connection continues to bring you comfort and peace.
