I thank God for the opportunity to have you as my Mom. Your strength and honesty are virtues I try my best to live by on a daily basis. And have passed on to my children as surely, as you passed those qualities on to me. Although my heart is heavy, I can rely on our bible study sessions and this verse we shared for relief:

John 14:1-4:

Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going.
