A Day of Reflection

I usually don't blog, like Ian, I leave it to my wife. Though today is mom's birthday and I reflect. I know that there are times I wish she was here, being able to celebrate with our family over great accomplishments and to give us advice during our darkest hours. But I also know that she is where God intended her to be. Sometimes I am jealous of the fact and then reminded of how it would hurt others if I was gone. It is a bittersweet emotion that will never leave my mind. Today I just want everyone to remember that mom loved God, desired Christ to be shown in everything, and for love to penetrate. We have a wonderful example by revisiting those memories that we have stored and I would never trade them for the world. Happy Birthday Mom! You are loved, missed, cherished, always remembered, never forgotten. Love, Leo
