This Made Her Day!

A visit from my oldest son Zach and his wife Emily brought tears to her crystal blue eyes. She and Zach have always had a fun time with verbal banter, and thankfully that hasn't changed!  They enjoyed dinner together and shared some stories. Emily wears the original wedding ring given by my Dad- always a tender moment for Mom!  A special honor to Emily and Zach!
The best news of all is she will be a great grandmother again! Zach and Emily are expecting their first child in December!!  

Memories made, if even for a little while; gently repeated and photos shown; carry joy, and hold the floating puzzle pieces closer together for recollection, when at a moment a familiar breeze is needed.

My Prayer

Gentle Jesus,
May My little Mom continue to see You in the faces of her family and friends even when our name tags have been removed. May Your Joy and Happiness triumph when confusion stirs up the dust. Let Your Peace reign when clouds of fear rumble by and may Your Light guide her in all the new unknowns. 
Use me Gentle Jesus to bring My little Mom always to the sight of You...just as she brought me to You as a child. May she always remember how precious she is to all who love her! Help me to always dress her in her robe of Dignity and Grace...and never let her go out without putting on her favorite lipstick.  "My fans might be waiting for me!"
With her grand babes Erin and Caleb at her wedding to Charlie. 
With grandson Zach!
