I wanted today to reflect on what a mom is. And specifically what mine meant to myself, my siblings and by extension to many of our friends.

From my experience of viewing moms they for the most part are the most giving and patient of anyone to their children and have so much compassion for a child who’s parent is not there for them. I watched my mom reach out and pull in some of my and my siblings friends to help them.

My mom Roberta, Bobbie to her friends was the best mom that I could ever have had. God selected her for my dad. They were told that my mom could not have children. My mom and her grandmother began to visit all of the churches in the area and used to pray for children. Again, the doctors proclaimed one thing no children and God proclaimed another after 5 years of no children my mom was given the news she was pregnant. The doctors were not wrong. God was sovereign over everything. He had a plan for her and my dads faithfulness.

He blessed my mom and dad with five children in 7 years.

They were blessed with a daughter and four sons. My moms last pregnancy was very hard as she developed toxemia and during the delivery my dad was asked to chose who would live. My mom or the baby. My dad thank God did not have to make that decision because before he answered my brother was born alive and well. My mom recouperated and went home to take care of her family. My mom and dad never stopped thanking God for their family. My mom always said each one of her children were different like the fingers of her hand. She knew our strengths and weaknesses and challenged each one of us accordingly. She was love personafied.

My mom showed us what true sacrafice was even as my mom became ill herself with cancer she maintained her strenght for her family. When I was diagnosed with brain cancer she remained strong for me and we prayed as a family. She was always optomistic, she was always prayerful and was God strong. She often told me as she was really bedridden that God has me here to pray for you.

What a gift that was to myself and the entire family. My mom showed us the most important life lesson the way to eternity through Jesus Christ. Amen.

So today on my moms 2nd anniversary of her birthday into Heaven, We miss you and will see you again someday. xo  Danny  /  pizza man . lol  ( I was a chubby baby)
