My youngest
daughter Sandy had a hard time at her college graduation ceremony on Mother's Day in missing
her step-father who raised her since she was 3-4 years old. For me, I missed my
mother more at her ceremony than my husband not
being there. But it's sort of like my mother is a passing good memory
after losing her 15 years ago.
I had a dream the night before the graduation that Sandy was a little girl and she was drowning in a lake and I tried to rescue her by pulling her out of the lake and doing CPR, but it did not work. I believe the lake she was drowning in were her tears and sorrow that day in missing him.
It’s hard to focus on a joyous occasion in our lives, when we miss a person we want to share our most precious moments with. I remembered a song that day I used to sing as a young Christian: “For Those Tears I Died.”
He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death' or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." Rev. 21:4
People don’t miss a person very long when they leave earth, because they never bonded with that person in a great way. I barely ever saw my grandparents so when I lost my grandfather when I was 19 years old and then my grandmother at around age 27, it was not as traumatic because I never had a very close bond with them. At most I saw them one week in the summer a year. I miss my mother more than my father because I was very closely “knit” to my mother. The deeper the love bond, the deeper the loss.
Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony. Col 3:14
I led them with cords of human kindness, with ties of love. To them I was like one who lifts a little child to the cheek, and I bent down to feed them Hosea 11:4
