One year ago, at this very hour, I was sleeping in my mother’s “easy chair” right next to her bed… there was a hospice nurse in the room, who was keeping an eye on mom… and mom was in her last hours of life on this earth.
In just a few hours, at about 8:10am, I would be awakened by the nurse, as she said…
I don’t think your mom has much longer to live.
…and I would stand up from the chair, turn and look at mom, and realize she had just taken her last breath.
It is hard to believe that a year has gone by since that day… and that now, she is with me only in heart and mind and memory…
Yet I know that mom is at peace, resting in the Lord’s Presence, and that there will come a day when I will see her again… (and dad… and Lemmy… both of whom got to heaven ahead of mom… I’ll see them all again)…
I miss all three of you…
I love all three of you…
