I heard her stir and went to the door, She was combing her hair, her first act of the day Always "You are awake?" "Oh, yes, I woke with the crack of dawn." It was a lovely day. We talked and laughed - Read and reminisced. How frail she looked. Evening approached. How determinedly she walked between us. "Now you leave me alone -just a minute." Silence - We rushed to her. "Just a few more steps, Mamma, we Will have you back in your bed." We watched knowing that now We must let her go. Mamma would no longer wait for us here. The light left her lovely eyes. But a new light shone in heaven. Mamma had joined her Savior. She had long prayed for this hour to come. |
