A Mother's Message, Freida Block

On Saturday morning I was laying there and God came and paid me a visit.

He sat in the chair right next to my bed, put his hand on my head and said to me, “Child listen.”

Boi, you should’ve seen the smile that was placed on my face because I knew he came baring good news.

I’m sure to you to you kids it seems like a terrible dream but you must understand the things God do.

“Freida,” he said, “I want you to rest. I come to take your pain as you sleep. I know it may be hard, especially leaving your children but leave their hurt and healing to me.

I looked over and said, “God I’m nervous. I’m a fighter ya’ see, so it’s hard for me to just let go. I got a lil’ more fight. I can make it through the night. I’m not sure if I can really do this, so….”

“Freida listen,” he replied, “I came to you giving no option, you’ve done all that I needed you to. I know your time didn’t seem long and you have to leave your children to come home, but trust me I’ll see get your children thru.”

I knew he had needed me so I did as he said and told my i luv you’s and good-byes through my heart. And yes this is hard but trust I’m not very far and though you can’t physically look me in my face. The love that we share will always be there, right there in that same exact place.

Keisha, April, Stink, Ernest…Shanae, as I look down I see the pain in your eyes, the hurt in your hearts and questions. God blessed me with such a long life, He loves me…so Him bringing me home should go without guessing. I can say that because I know now. And ya’ll, I need for you to be strong now. Though we can’t talk on the phone now. Babies, I’m happy, I’m finally home now. There is nothing like a mother’s love and I am thankful to have been able to give that to you. I am only a few words away, no matter how many tears you go through. I know this was all so sudden and I wish I could turn back the hands of time. As your mother and as God has already confirmed…my children the pain will heal with time. I love you guys and that you should always remember and my face you can in the clouds. When you hear the thunder roaring outside your window, that’s only momma screaming, “I love you” real loud.

-Though death brings distance, our hearts keep us close!

Love
-Mom!
