No more worries

I realized this morning that I don't have to worry anymore.  As a mother we worry about everything all the time when it comes to our children.  I know the Bible tells us not to worry but we all do it when it comes to our children.  We worry about their health, their safety, their future, and their choices.  I had additional worries for Tommy because of his addiction, but I don't have to worry anymore.  Is that a blessing?  I would do anything to worry about him every single day if it meant I could see and hold him again.  However, I do trust in Jesus and the promises made in his words.  Tommy is at peace with the Lord and I don't need to worry anymore for him, for his health, for his safety, and for his future.  I keep focusing on how blessed I was to have so many memories of Tommy for the over 19 years he was with us.  He taught me so much about myself as a person, as a mother, and as a friend.  I am so grateful for those precious moments we had and will cherish them forever and always.
