My Mom "Bunny" passed on mothers day 2003
To everyone around she was known as "Cosmic Earth Mother" to me she was just Mother....My times with her were an adventure. I miss her, her insight, her advice, her compassion, her smell, and at the end of her days was the willingness to say "I love you" for the first time in her life. Those 3 little words I longed for were finally said....

I wouldnt change a thing...
I love you and miss you Mother, till I see your beautiful face again...God bless you and keep you.

Debra

Hmmm Ive never heard of her (but then again where does my time go?! lol) But I will look her up...sounds like some very interesting reading which is just what the Ole lady would say to me if she was still here...Little story about reading that made both of us adhere to promises of reading books we said we would read...Mom picked up (cant remember the title) a book to read, got home put it in her bookshelf to go back to later weeks pass by (still hasnt read it) she keeps looking at it and saying I must read that when I get home. Never does...until one day....she goes through the same thought process "must read book" comes home, opens the door in time to see the book fly from the shelf (sooo not kidding) to land by her sittin chair. She looks around and says "Ok so you want me to read the book! Done!"
Ill never forget that! lol! Im tellin ya BOH wierd stuff happens in my neck of the woods! I call it entertainment! But I know Mom is with me some days more than other I can feel her presence. My hunny finds it all fascinating since being with me has afforded him to see things from a different perspective than how he was raised but I never push my beliefs onto him he just kind of scoots closer and picks it up for his walk through life...right now Im teaching him about Karma (dontcha just love her?!)since he needs a little temperance in day to day life...do unto others kind of thing Wink

I just said how nice it must have been to see Gran and the others after such a long time and then like a scared child I put it out of my mind cause I knew what it meant for her deep down inside.
The differences.....not really....when it comes down to it its all about love respect honor and finally faith....see not so different Wink
Again thank you I am humbled and so is mom! Smile

Holy Moley, Bunnysgrl, I didn't know your mother had passed over the rainbow. But what a Mother! No wonder you are so wonderful. My mother is American Baptist and thinks god will take care of everything--the difference between California and Oklahoma. But you are beautiful and so was your mother.

Hey Mar Dont even worry about it! We all have our moments Wink as my mother used to refer to these all the time as "Old timers moments" I have so many of those especially at night!
After dealing with what we do on a day to day basis...we are tired and we respond in kind....
You are a wonderful spirit (so is everyone else here) we are just in need of a little rest....
Take it easy on yourself and have a warm cup of tea on me! Big Grin
Debra

The last time I had heard it was at my nieces wedding as I was thinking how proud he would be of his little girl and how much I wished he was with me. It seems that when we really need them they have their way of letting us know they are there. This is hard to share with others in my life (well the people I work with that is as I really don't see my friends much because of taking care of mom)and I'm glad to have a place to share these things.

Actually thats my Mom Mar. And Im am glad you had your little date, how sweet they are to fly down and drop butterfly kisses just when you need them the most! The song thing...I am quite familiar with, it happens more than you think. As a child we are more open to these things but as an adult we "forget" to open ourselves up to the magic of the unseen realm. Ahhh another "believer" welcome! I enjoy this greatly. You see to me right now my Mom is in the middle of this....Making herself heard, because she knows to me this is...home.
Feel the love?.....yes

MAR, honey Confused Smile ..... it was Debra's mom that we were talking about. But, I 'spose what REALLY MATTERS is that you got a ... CONNECTION!!

I know the song you're talking about ... and I absolutely LOVE IT! If that's not a love song, then there never WAS one!

SHARE ON, girl .................... SHARE ON!!!

Ahh Janie the tales to be told are many! We used to attend classes at a place called the "Theosophical Society" where I first met a lady by the name of.....Hmmmm I wonder if you might know her???? Sylvia Brown.....I knew her when! We had past life progressions done by her back in the day....interesting...very interesting.
Have fun with the possibilities...they are many my dear soul! Smile

On Sundays we used to have a houseful of people come over (and they were characters! Big Grin) We would meditate and talk and just generally have a good day. She was extrodinary as an astrologer and in a matter of an hour she would take a non believer and deal them "a blow" that would profoundly shake their inner beliefs to the possibility that while life is pretty "black and white" there is more to this life than that.
If she were here right now sitting in front of you, she would, through a reading tell you chapter and verse of your life up to the point of meeting her without ever knowing you. To be in a room with her and see the look of "wonderment" on someones face when she was finished with a reading was to me, breathtaking.
As to why of all days...Both my grandmother and I (my grandmother is now passed) were sensitive to things (my mother was but not as much)Today when I woke up I could both smell her and yes, even sense her. She does this when I am stressed. She is in essence telling me to step back. In this day it made me miss her voice saying "Debra have patience, this too shall pass".
And also that little thing called Karma we need to remember... "What you give out, you get back 3 fold"...
Not something I want to bring to my table. Wink
Janie thank you for your kind words.
To the possibilities! Cheers


(As "they" say ........... YOU HAD ME FROM HELLO!) I loved hearing about your Mother!!! And, could almost "feel" her sitting in front of me, telling me the chapter and verse of my life etal!!! Whoa! What an exciting and interesting and cosmic childhood you had!!!!

Yes, to the possibilities.

Oh Debra! Confused Your Mother sounds like she was an awesome lady and Mother.

Why was she called "Cosmic Earth Mother?" When you said "her smell" it reminded me of my own Mother. And, why did you choose today, of all or any days, to openly remember her?

I'm so glad she finally said those three little words to you, sweetie. What a wonderful validation of your relationship when you say, "I wouldn't change a thing .... " Smile

I truly believe we will see our Mothers again one fine day. And, oh my gosh, what a day that will be!!!!! A wonderous and beautiful day of love and celebration and hugs and kisses and ........ togetherness!!! Foreverness!

God bless you, Debra, for how you are taking care of your mil. You DO know you just keep on adding more earthly jewels to your Heavenly crown, don't you? Smile

Thank you for sharing your Mother with us.


~ Janie ~
