Mom at her 100th birthday gathering. My mom would have been 104 today, but it was time when she faded away at age 101. I’ve written this before but it’s worth hearing again, at least for me. Nine days before she died I wrote on a piece of paper, “God has been good to you your whole life.” She read it carefully, needing time to process, and then said, “It’s true…, very grateful.” Those were the last words she spoke. The core of Mom’s faith was gratitude. Maybe it be so for all of us.
