Gratitude:
- that I had an extra $10 to hand out my truck window to a family with a sign that said they needed help
My momma was a giver. I didn’t even realize it until after I lost her, but I bet I get part of my giving spirit from her.
- we made it to Iowa to see my niece run cross country track
- that for about 5 minutes after we arrive at my dad’s, my momma’s animals think I’m her
I think my voice sounds like hers. When I start talking to them, for a split second, I think they think I am her. Which is very sweet. She LOVED them and they loved her! I know they miss her SO much.
Miracle photos:
I’ll have to catch my photos up tomorrow. I’ve been driving all day.
Miracles:
- Seeing my dad!
I haven’t seen him since the first week of August! I was so homesick!!!
- being home, my parent’s home
Thank you for reading.

Glad you are having a good visit Jessica. I like that that your Mom’s animals think your voice is the same as your Mom’s and respond thinking it is her.

Hi Linda. Thank you. I like it, too. Especially her cat, which used to be my cat. My husband, son, and I used to have 2 cats that were sisters. One did not like the other at all. At the time, I asked mom if she’d keep the sweet one for me. She did. Oh my, she loved that cat!!! She had her like 5 years. They were besties. I think it comforts the cat to hear me talk to her like mom did. She melts. ❤️

That is a nice story Jessica. Many people do not give credit to animals – they sense things and feel things that many humans do not comprehend.

Ohhh yes!!! And, I read that cats have really good long term memories. So it wouldn’t surprise me if she’s wondering where mom is. I had to say goodbye to the cat this afternoon as we are heading back to our house. It’s hard to leave her pets. Sweet animals.

Yes, it is sad to know that animals grieve for their animal siblings and especially for their pet parents who pass away.

Hi. Thank you. It is SO great to be here. I woke up, in my mom’s favorite room. She called it her Bed and Breakfast room. All her beautiful things are in it. My goodness, I miss her.
