In Memory of Mom


http://youtube.com/watch?v=umAuekSF4BY

Usually about this time of year, I start to feel sad-- really missing my Mom. Her birthday is next week, November 3rd. She would have been 88 this year!!! For some reason, as much as I miss her beyond words, this year I just feel joy! Joy that she's free from the pain and suffering that she dealt with during the seven years she fought her battle with Alzheimer's. Joy that she is with Jesus and has been reunited with her parents,her brother and sister, the two children she lost in miscarriage, and so many others. Joy that she is in her true home in Heaven. I still weep... I still long to hug her, to hear her voice- to just be close. But I know in Christ there is no good-bye... she still lives in my heart.

Above, there is link for a video I made tonight (you may need to copy and paste it into your browser)... hope you enjoy it.

Wow, what a nice tribute to your Mom. Excuse me while I go look for a tissue.
