How can I sum up in 40 words what my Mom meant to me? Impossible! I don't even think I can begin to write ample words to describe her...but I will try
Loving example of Christ, Prayer Warrior, Incredible Grandma, Loving Wife, Ordained Minister to Preschoolers, Spectacular Mom... how did she do it? I never recall her raising her voice to me. (maybe I was a good little girl :-)) I strived to obey for my Mom .. knowing she loved me unconditionally, but yet I never wanted her to be disappointed in me.
She had an infectious laugh and a smile that would lighten up a room and beautiful blue eyes in which she always saw the world half full and never half empty. She was always finding a blessing in the midst of turmoil.
She is now walking on streets of gold, rocking her grandchildren that went before her, and now walking with her Mother who left us a month ago tomorrow. I miss you so much Mom. Not a day goes by that I don't wish that you were here so I could hug you and tell you one more time, how very much I love you!
