The perfect summary. She would approve!Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02569698790555557740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114307744147144762.post-42706437926803136742015-10-09T06:32:57.997-06:002015-10-09T06:32:57.997-06:00VERY NICE, THANKS!!VERY NICE, THANKS!!Steve Bloodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14461084071883064196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114307744147144762.post-84582571010184372402015-10-05T16:03:16.841-06:002015-10-05T16:03:16.841-06:00What a loving tribute to our mother! She was oh, ...What a loving tribute to our mother! She was oh, so faithful to us, her children, and would do anything for us as long as we were on the track - and she tried ever so hard to keep us going! We learned about the value of humor, as well as serious stuff. And, we learned to bear our burdens gracefully because she did. She taught me how to play the piano by purchasing the John Thompson books and then listening from wherever she was in the house so she could nudge me when I wasn't counting right - and to sit up straight. When she was told she had breast cancer and would need to have surgery, I was with her, and she didn't tell me until she began driving on one of her favorite tree-lined streets in Olympia, and then it was dry and matter-of-fact. We'll face adversity with courage because of her example. There, now your words and mine have made a few tears fall, but we were so fortunate to have her love and example.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14728351230605312730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114307744147144762.post-33174438422582534612015-10-04T17:39:24.264-06:002015-10-04T17:39:24.264-06:00There is nothing more to say than an Amen to Dwigh...There is nothing more to say than an Amen to Dwight's "thank you Mom", and a thank you to Dwight for beautifully writing about those lessons learned so long ago. I'm not sure whether to shed a few tears or smile - I'll probably just do both. Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06652616779595499610noreply@blogger.com
