A WAKE UP CALL!!!!!
This year marks the 15th year that I have been without my mother. And she is truly missed. But if there is truly holes in the floor of heaven. I know that she is watching over me and would be proud of the changes that I have made in my life since she's been gone.
My Mom, Norma Pauline(Elifrits) Hurt, was a very beautiful person. She never met a person she didn't invite into her home and make her part of her family. She was a great lover of music. And I can't say that she had one particular style of music. If it moved her, she liked it. She listened to Mike & The Mechanics, Neil Diamond, Elvis, Three Dog Night, Dolly Parton, Debbie Boone, even Dr. Hook. So I do mean that if it moved her she listened. Mom and Dad were both married before they married each other. Dad was married twice before my Mom.
All together my parents had 12 kids. 7 girls and 5 boys; Emma Jean, Teresa, John David, Susan, Richard, Isabelle, Orie Lynn, Fred II, Kathy & Karl (twins), Carrie, and the baby, Christian.
So with such a large family, you can guess we didn't have alot of money for extras, but we had tons of love.
In the Country_1 chat room we sometimes discuss our favorite songs. Mine is; Coat of Many Colors .....by Dolly Parton. It reminds me alot of the hard times and how mom always made the best of it... Just like in the song, My mom sewed me a coat made out of rags (actually they were scraps from clothes she had made for some very well to do ladies) because she couldn't afford to buy me a new one and I needed one very badly. I wore that coat until way into my 20's. I still have it somewhere packed in a box at my Dad's house. And the reason why she was sewing for these ladies??? She did it to make the money ($256.00) to buy my class ring. Because I was the first of the kids to graduate.
And if you have spent anytime with me in the room, you would know that the last time I spoke to my mother it wasn't very pleasant. We had a huge argument on the phone, and I yelled at her, told her to "butt out" of my life and slammed the phone down in her ear. We never spoke again, much to my regret, because a few days later
Mom had a heartattack and a massive stroke on top of it. She never regained consciousness.... She was 52...........
So here is the bottomline, you only have one Mother, when she is gone, she is gone! There is no turning back the clock, and regaining what you lost..........
So stop what you're doing, and pick up the phone!!
Call mom, tell her you love her. Don't waste important time...... Do it for the years to come that she won't be there..... Do it for me... For all I have to hold now is memories. This page is dedicated to the loving memory of my mom. Although I can't change the past, I certainly have learned from it. Don't let the sun set on your anger. Call your loved ones and patch things up, don't let them slip away without telling them how you feel. No petty argument is worth a lifetime of regret. I love you, Mom!!!
