Early Wednesday morning Jan 25th 2012, my beloved mother passed away very peacfully. She was 96 and had several health issues, but at her age still had her mind. she was keenly aware of the things that interested her, such as the birds that visited the feeder at her window, the weather and what would be blooming or growing, what should be fixed for dinner according to the time of year, what would be nourishing. The activities of her children and grand children. Those were important to her.
My Mom had a long, good, life, starting in Montreal, Quebec where she did many things among them, piano, singing in church choirs, and community Oprah. She was a lady of principle, graciousness, faith, love, a true saint. I will miss her very much. I rise and call her blessed!
As for me, slowly I will pick up and carry on toward a new normalcy as we call it in grief share. Toward the life that I am called to, the path that is for me. I am comforted by my family, and friends who call and care for me. I am comforted by the memories of a life well lived that spoke life and love into my life. I am comforted by the Scripture where Jesus says "I will never leave you nor will I forsake you"
Mom, I rise and call you blessed before God and humankind.
Soli Deo Gloria
