Well, here’s a little shout out to heaven…”Happy Birthday Mom!” Miss you, your wonderfully funny sense of humor & your calls that made me feel so special. Love you Mom!
My Mom…she was the most fun, most exasperating woman and easy to love. She giggled with everything that was in her. If she was on the phone with you, & started giggling, you might as well hang up & let her call you back!
She loved her family the best she knew how. Raised by a step father & his wife love was scarce to come by for her. Yet you would never know that …she cared about people…really cared & put “feet” to her caring. I can see my cutting the hair of one of the older men in our town, or fixing dinner & inviting them to have dinner with us. She showed me how to serve… by the doing of what needed done.
Oh, she had a temper too….you could tell by the slamming of the kitchen doors…sorry for the telling Mom. You would probably laugh about that now, or maybe feel shame for letting anger get the best of you.(I’ve given those doors a few slams of my own, of course I try to pretend they’re just hard to shut). The apple doesn’t fall far….
Now, one of our favorite cousins has a birthday on this day as well & gives us a reason to celebrate. Life continues here & in heaven….Love you Mom, wish we had a few more days, but one day we will….we will worship God together…love you Mom!
