MOMMA!

Good Morning Foodies!

First thing this morning, want to thank all of you for the “GET WELL WISHES” that was sent my way. Trust me, it did help me get back on track! Thanks for all the kindness sent my way!

Today is a very special day for me! SIXTEEN years ago today, my MOMMA left to go be with GOD and all the ANGELS and SAINTS! You know that statement, “TIME HEALS ALL WOUNDS”—for me that does not fit the bill. The loss today feels just the same as it did SIXTEEN years ago.
I think the hardest part of losing someone, isn’t having to say goodbye, but rather learning to live without them. There never seems to be anything that can fill the void and emptiness in your heart when they go.

I often read the following by some unknown author to help soften the loss!
“Your MOTHER is always with you. She is the whisper of the leaves as you walk in the backyard. She is the smell of certain foods you remember, flowers you pick, the fragrance of life itself. She is the cool hand on your brow when you are not feeling well. She is your breath in the air on a cold winter’s day. She is the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep, the colors of a rainbow, she is Christmas morning. Your MOTHER lives inside your laughter. She is the place you came from, your first home and she is the map you follow with every step you take. She is your first love, your first friend, even your first enemy, but nothing on earth can separate you—NOT TIME, NOT SPACE, NOT EVEN DEATH!”

I just try to remember, “SOMETIMES YOUR HEART NEEDS MORE TIME TO ACCEPT WHAT YOUR MIND ALREADY KNOWS!”

SENDING MY LOVE TO JULIA ALICE MCCABE PALAZZO aka “MOMMA”!

Have a safe and productive weekend!
