| On Friday December 26, our Mem recieved the greatest Christmas gift. She flew into the company of the two greatest men that ever lived, Our Lord Jesus and my grampa. Although, through bitter tears I type--bitter from the neglect on my part--I know she is sipping divine tea, working the celestial crossword puzzels and joyfully yelling "Melnot time for lunch." From these many miles I do not see the vacant house with empty chair and quiet steps. For me, she is still there surrounded by her happy plants and the sound of her whistling kettle. My heart is heavy for those who loved and cared for her in her final days.. We love you Mem. |
