Yesterday Mom left this world and has gone to meet Jesus. This photo is about 3 weeks ago and one of the best I have ever seen of her. She was very excited to have a whole banana split all to herself! She never said a cross word in her life, always kind and giving & loving of everyone. Her life was not easy, cooking and cleaning for 5 boys on the farm in North Dakota but she never complained. When you’re 91, I’m sure there are lots of things that are hurting but she never complained. I can only pray that my life will reflect her impact on me over the years. Regardless of age, when you lose your Mom, it’s very difficult. But at the same time I am running over with gratefulness to God for all the blessings we’ve experienced in the last 2 weeks. She was able to have hospice care in her home where all her church friends and neighbors came by see her. She would just light up the room when she saw you. I was able to be there to share this special time. May God be close to each of you today.
