Due to a sleepless night and an unexplained prompting, I spent New Year's Eve ringing in 2022 with mom this year. I ended up spending a full week. It started out sad, and ended up being a great time of sharing, resolving open issues, and simply spending one last time together. it was unexpected that she would get an infection in a wound 1 week later, that would bring an end to this earthly life in less than 2 days. Based on our conversations, it was an answer to prayer. She lived a good life, always wanting to be on the go, always wanting to live life to its fullest. Her fading health in the past few years hindered that quite a bit. When she struggled to understand her purpose here on earth, I think our heavenly father heard her prayers. And now, she lives in a heavenly body, free of pain, in the presence of our Savior. It is a glorious homecoming that all who claim Jesus Christ as his/her Savior have in their future.Memories live on. Memories of a life of service. I never knew a time when my mom was not serving her Lord. Music was typically at the heart of her ministry. Often in choirs, singing groups, or even on Sunday nights gathered around an old pump organ singing the hymns of old, mom loved her music. She served her family. She served her patients. She served her students. And now she serves in the heavenly realm.I will miss mom. Who doesn't miss their mother? I could always call. I could always visit. I would often share photos of my daily doings. No more. She leaves a hole in my heart that will always be reserved for her. However, the love she showed me, the life she modeled for me, the nurture she provided me will always fill that emptiness with a joy that will last the rest of my life.Thanks mom. I truly believe you were met with those words of "Well done. Good and faithful servant."
