After all is said and done one question is lingering. Was I a good daughter? Now that extended family leave. That friends move on. That the "normal life" begins (What ever normal is). I keep asking the same question over and over.
I know what my mother is doing on the other side of the veil. I know she is working hard. Even harder now that her body wont limit what she can do. I know I will see her again if I stay true to the gospel. I know she is at peace from all the pain she was in here on earth. But was I a good daughter? I broke down a few days ago and my sisters told me that I was. That I made her happy. But thats just it. I want to know if I truly was. I wont know until I see her again. But til then, Was I a good daughter? Did I make her happy? Did I make her smile? Did I make her feel like the queen she was to me?
I guess all I can ask those who still have their mothers here on earth. Are you a good daughter? Do you make her happy? Do you kiss ger on the cheek? Do you just hug her to feel her warm body against yours? Do you kiss her and have her kiss you back? I cant.
