WHAT A CLIFFHANGER!
Talk about a cliffhanger!!!! Since Mom is turning 91 in a couple of weeks, I asked her if she was getting ready to go to heaven. Her response….wait for it….. it’s a cliffhanger friend…..

She responds with, “No,” to which I retorted, “Why?” She said she was and I quote, “Waiting…..” My mouth flew open, and I scooted to the edge of my seat, and I asked her for what or who? Nothing, nothing at all. She was finished talking. It was climatic and a cliffhanger all in one fell swoop. I may never know.
Don’t worry. I’m trusting in God’s perfect timing, but I do get rather curious now and then. Today was just one of those days. I just had to ask. I think her answer can be comprehended as “No, not today.” I do know when God calls her home she is ready. She has been more than ready for 20 years. I look back over the past twenty years though and look at the lives she has touched. It never stops. People have written and called me all through the years, in fact, just yesterday and today about how a story or a photo touched them. Mom loves people, and she is so loved by so many, even strangers.
Every time I see her say or do just the perfect thing at the perfect time and I see how it affects a person (myself included) its a reminder to me that God’s not finished with her here on this earth yet.
With a smile and a happy heart,
