Short notice, I know, but Mom's birthday is coming up very shortly. She would love to hear from her friends. If you need her address, please email me and I'll send it to you right away.
Mom's enjoying the company of all 3 daughters and all 4 grandchildren this week, is being loved on and coddled by everyone. Maybe the best present she's received so far is the gift of no more finger sticks for blood sugar and no more insulin shots -- hooray for small victories!

When my mother was diagnosed with stage-four cancer, she was given only weeks to live. The news was devastating. Suddenly, I felt alone, sad, and totally disconnected. I had no idea what would happen to me after my mother died. The emptiness would be enormous. At that moment, I remembered Psalm 27:10. I was comforted to remember that God is always with me.
During the 18 months my mother endured her illness, God sustained me with the psalm quoted above. I was able to interact fully with her. When my mother breathed her last, I simply asked God to stand by me. God gave me the strength and wisdom to carry on. As always, God was faithful, remained close, and never let me falter.
Now, months after my mother’s death, I continue to feel the pain of her absence. However, I am grateful to God that my mother’s suffering has turned to joy and her pain has ceased. I am at peace, secure in the knowledge that both my mother and I rest in God’s loving arms.
