    Well, we talked the other night about this and I was short of words as I always am with this subject.

    I'm so very glad that you had love and encouragement and support from your mom - I think it makes a big difference in a child's life. It's what it's supposed to be about.

    My condolences to you, Winter:)

    I hope God gives you all of the strength you need to make it through the rough times. I hope, like the Footprints poem says, that it's now that He's carrying you.

    Footprints

    One night I had a dream--
    I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord
    and across the sky flashed scenes from my life.
    For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints,
    one belonged to me and the other to the Lord.
    When the last scene of my life flashed before me,
    I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
    I noticed that many times along the path of my life,
    there was only one set of footprints.
    I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest
    and saddest times in my life.
    This really bothered me and I questioned the Lord about it.
    "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,
    you would walk with me all the way,
    but I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life
    there is only one set of footprints.
    "I don't understand why in times when I needed you most,
    you should leave me."
    The Lord replied, "My precious, precious child,
    I love you and I would never, never leave you
    during your times of trial and suffering.
    "When you saw only one set of footprints,
    it was then that I carried you."

    Hi Winter Marie: I'm so sorry Winter Marie. I, too, lost my mom recently, just after Mother's Day. She was 94. Like you, I had at least been to visit her (she lived about 2000 miles from me) 1 week before she died. After I left, she stopped eating and drinking - she had seen me, spent time with me, and now it was time to go. She was in pain and really didn't want to go on. Just before she died, I talked to her on the telephone, told her I loved her so much, and miracle miracle miracle she told me she loved me. Those were the last words she spoke. I mourned her passing in her beloved forest with the birds and read a poem (do not grieve for me I am not gone...) for her. She, too, was my anchor for 67 years. I miss her so. My thoughts are with you.
