Now being a mother myself, I consider your mom to be one of my heroes. Although I didn't know her very well, all the times I met her she always gave me a warm motherly feeling in my heart. And with all the stories you've told me through the years, I feel like I knew her better. I often think, " How incredible to raise 10 children", when I'm having a tough day with my two little cherubs. Your mom raised you so well and I know she and your Dad are so proud of you.<BR/><BR/>Love you Kel-<BR/>PattieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385669557652821626.post-4821476129241138152007-06-04T15:58:00.000-05:002007-06-04T15:58:00.000-05:00Kelly - it's Becky's mom - this brought tears to m...Kelly - it's Becky's mom - this brought tears to my eyes! A mom such as yours will & does have everlasting influence on those who knew her - regardless of the length of time. When you spoke of her many attributes, your mention of her faith hit me the most. There is nothing more precious that a mother (or father) can give to their child(ren) than a strong belief & faith in our Lord Jesus Christ - for without Him, life has not meaning nor hope! My prayer for you & Chris is that God will remain with you and that, by seeing his wonders each day of your travels, your faith and trust in Him will grow! Love & prayers to a wonderful couple -- and, we will see you again!

She was so much more than she realized. I realized when you spoke of wishing you had more time as a woman with mom, that although I had the most time with her as an adult, I still long for more. I want to talk to her now about being a grandma. How greedy we are for time with loved ones gone on and yet, do we spend enough time with our loved ones still here? That is how I try to live my life now. Time is precious.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385669557652821626.post-49828860239379955952007-05-17T10:15:00.000-05:002007-05-17T10:15:00.000-05:00Beautifully written.
