Mommy dearest!

This last week has been a stressful one.  My mom went to the hospital on Monday with chest pains, and found out that she had to have a quadruple bypass.  I was worried, but not fearful, the Lord seemed to know I needed His peaceful reassurances.  And my heart was more calm than it has ever been in the face of such a lose as that would have been.

I can see many other blessings in the event.  Mostly we are so blessed she didn't have a heart attack, cause it probably would have been too great to survive.  As it is she is her spunky self again, and I hope to spend many more years with her in my company.

I just want to say how thankful I am to my Father in Heaven for my mother's life.  I adore my mother, she is one of my best friends.  I notice more each year how similar we are in temperament.  I love to be like my Mom.  OF course she is far more patient than me, but I am sure Etta will help me learn that as the years come.

Most of all Mommy I love you!
And Dad thanks for taking such great care of my mother.  I am sure this was a very hard week for you!
