Latest Mama Comments

Tonight as we were sitting in my Mom's living room, she fixed her eyes upon my feet and said, "Now let me see, how many feet do we have in this room? Just two sets, I guess, yours and mine." How random is that?

Later when Neil was sitting there for awhile, she looked over at him with gratefulness as she realized that he was my husband. Then she began to look at him with an increasingly puzzled look on her face. "Is there a black Neil, too," she asked? So she knows full well when she sees this one, that he's not black, but she thinks that there's another one who is!

Yesterday she called Neil very disturbed because everyone was getting ready to go to her funeral and she hadn't been able to get ready yet herself! Neil reminded her that if they were going to her funeral, she wouldn't be there! With that, she laughed and agreed. So you see, life continues to be interesting. I never know what Mama will say next.

At the same time I want to say that God's injunction to "honor your father and mother" is at the forefront of my mind. Honoring my Mother is something I still need to do now, not just when I was growing up. I believe that great reward comes with that.
