DNA, honoring my mother

February, the Month of Love… Loveuary

I wrote in my book… “My childhood wasn’t perfect, but I never lacked the main ingredient: L💜VE.”

DNA

Dorothy Never Absent

Her love moves through me

Her prayers still cover me

Her spirit walks beside me

Though she is in heaven, she remains in my heart, my DNA, my very being.

I am her, and she is me, for eternity.

2 Corinthians 5:8

We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

The Bible does not explicitly state that human souls become angels after death, but it does affirm that those in Christ are alive in heaven. Angels are created as spiritual beings with specific roles, yet God’s presence surrounds us through divine protection, guidance, and love. Whether through angels, saints, or the memories of those who have gone before us, God ensures we are never alone. 💜

The Ultimate Sacrifice: A Good Mother’s Love

I didn’t think I could breathe without her.

I was paralyzed with grief.

I couldn’t even properly support my grieving son, who tried to pour breath into my mother’s dying body.

And here I am now…

Celebrating.

I had nowhere else to turn but God.

I never asked Him why… I just asked Him to comfort me, to guide me, to show me how to live.

Psalm 22:1

My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?

He did.

I look back now and see His hand in every moment, every breath, every step forward. He carried me when I could not walk. He reminded me that my mother’s love would never leave me.

Proverbs 22:6

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

She trained me in faith, in love, in strength. And even in her absence, I carry the lessons she poured into me.

I know now that death is not the end—it is a transition. Her soul is alive in the presence of God, and one day, we will be reunited.

John 14:2-3

In my Father’s house are many mansions… I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Until then, she is still with me.

Revelation 21:4

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain.

Angelic Presence & Divine Connection

I used to wonder… was she now an angel? Had she become part of God’s divine messengers, still watching over me?

Luke 20:36

Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.

God’s Word reminds me that while humans do not become angels, those in Him take on a new form, glorified in His presence.

Hebrews 2:6-7

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? … Thou madest him a little lower than the angels.

Though my mother may not be an angel in the traditional sense, I know her love, her prayers, and her spirit still surround me.

She is my angel.

And who’s to say that she hasn’t, in some way, been sent to guide me?

Hebrews 13:2

Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

There have been moments… soft whispers in the wind, unexplainable warmth in times of sorrow, a sudden sense of peace when I needed it most.

Perhaps she is part of the unseen, the divine, the presence of love that lingers in my life.

Revelation 6:9-10

The souls of the martyrs are in heaven, continuing to exist in God’s presence.

I believe she is there, alive in the glory of God, and I know she still watches over me.

Lord, I Thank You.
