A Mother's Legacy

Living By Example


My Mom was one of the best examples that I have of a person with abiding faith.  She read her Bible everyday and prayed for all of us kids alongside my Dad.  She never tried to push religion down our throats but just provided us with a loving atmosphere of unconditional love.  She hurt when we hurt and comforted us when we needed comfort.  I'm not sure how she was able to do everything she did considering.

She was also very talented.  I think my sister and I got maybe one-third each of her talent.  There are things my sister can do that our Mom taught her that I can't do and vice versa.  I still miss her cooking.  She was someone worth knowing and I'm glad I got to know her for the time I did.  She passed away a long time ago but I will always remember her and can't wait to see her again in heaven.
