MayNot your typical Mother’s Day
So yes, this past Sunday was Mother’s Day. Again for the fourth year in a row, I was not able to be home to celebrate Mother’s Day with my mom. I gave her a call and talked to her for awhile and made sure my brother presented her the gift we decided to her. At first there wasn’t anything out of the ordinary. My mother was able to enjoy her day and I wished her well and was grateful for the woman who brought me into this world.
Until later…
I was in the shower before going to bed and suddenly my nose started bleeding for no apparently reason. I thought to myself “okay, as long as I plug my nose and pinch it, it should stop soon”. However, it didn’t. Not only did it keep bleeding, it started getting worse. I managed to get out of the shower and get dress all while trying to stop my bleeding nose. It was already more than ten minutes past and it was still gushing out (excuse me for the…uh details). Suddenly, the other nostril started to bleed too almost as much as the other one. It was then that I started to panic. Of course, doing so just made my blood flow faster because I couldn’t relax. This was probably one of the worse bloody noses I’ve ever had.
Desperation and fear started to overcome me. I needed to call my mother. It was already almost midnight so she knew that something wasn’t right with me calling so late. I told her what was going on and how bad my nose was and she calmly gave me instructions on how to slow it down. She directed me to sit down and stay still. Any movement would cause more blood to flow. Twenty minutes into the call, it still hadn’t stopped. I started crying as I didn’t know what to do. She startedprayingwith me and for God to calm my heart and to stop the bleeding. The next twenty minutes felt like a lifetime as my nose slowly started to get better.
What a way to end Mother’s Day by truly being reminded of all the things mothers go through for their children. I don’t know how I would have gotten through the whole ordeal without my mother. Hearing her voice gave me peace and comfort.
I love and miss her dearly <3

And I'm definitely not the same
From God are His truths and wisdom
All for the glory of His kingdom
With a true heart of love
There is nothing compared to the One above
