It sparked so many responses. So...Oh, I loved this! It sparked so many responses. Some of the memories I treasure most, the sweetest ones, with my mother, who died two years ago at 86 in England, are of our goodbyes, when although her communication was limited due to a stroke, we spoke heart to heart and soul to soul when we said, "Until we meet again," both knowing that it meant on earth or in heaven. We acknowledged the reality of death. She soaked in our prayers together at bedtimes like a thirsty flower, and gripped my hands tightly as an expression of solidarity in faith. When the time came that she went on before me, I could hardly find grief in my heart, so grateful was I for the times we had shared. I felt fulfilled, with nothing left undone and no regrets. Yes--we have lost our reverence for the wisdom of the aged--and the loss is our own. Thank you for reminding us of something so important.Belindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09251920708783268740noreply@blogger.com
