Sunday was Mother’s
Day. Those of us whose mothers are gone
note the day with a bitter sweetness. If
your mother is still living then you know all love begins and ends there.
I just learned that
co-blogger Sig94’s mother was placed in hospice care last week. He thanked God for his mom in his blog post
noting she had a hard life as a young mother of four. He is steeling himself for the goodbye that
is coming.
I
hope you go by his place and offer your prayers, comfort and encouragement. An old Irish proverb says, “A man loves his
sweetheart the most, his wife the best, but his mother the longest.”
