My heart warmed as I read this article. It is timely and much needed, I think. Thank you for giving us a beautiful look into the Gospel that helps reduce our timidity and "gives us power, love, and self-discipline."
Thanks, Karl, for this reflection. Grief is so painful; it persists. It is right for us to grieve and to be honest about it. And we are blessed when we hear the testimony of people like you. The hope of the resurrection doesn't take away grief, but it surely puts it in a very different light. God continue to bless you and yours. Harvey
A great story, Rod. It warmed my heart and gave me a fresh appreciation of my mother. You relate very ordinary events in your mother's life but in doing so we see how very extraordinary they really are. It is a beautiful tribute to your mother. We come to appreciate deeply the gift she has been for so many people. Your story helped all of us to see the gift she is and to treasure her with you. In these years of inevitable loss, may the beauty of the gift she has been remain strong for her and all of you. Thanks again. Harvey
