I will miss you mom. But I know you are better off now. I know you are now free of physical pain. Please give dad a hug for me. I guess I was selfish watching you in pain for so long, but still hoping you lived for many more years. Hoping you would be around longer to see you grandchildren’s achievements in life. I know you are so proud of them. They love you so much.
ReplyDeleteGod,
Hear my prayer. Please watch over my family and keep them safe. They are hurting and need your love and mercy now more than ever. Please guide my family through this dark and painful time. I know I’m supposed to be rejoicing about my mom’s promotion. But I just can’t right now.
My favorite memory of Shirley took place one Halloween long ago. She was handing out full size candy bars (a rarity in our neighborhood). So I dressed up in three different costumes and made repeat visits to her door. I did reveal my identity each time, after the transaction was complete. God be with you, Shirley. John R.
