March 9 became a memory stone in my life 28 years ago. It is a day that I won’t forget and don’t want to forget. This day my lovely mother left this earth to begin her life in Heaven. Many times when a famous person passes, we celebrate their lives very publicly. There are parades, speeches, special days at school, etc. Today, however, there will be no parade to remember all the wonderful things she represented in many people’s lives. Today there will be memories! Memories of her smiling face and the caress of her hand on my cheek. I can still remember her sitting at the piano playing while we sang together. She would talk to total strangers in line at McDonald’s, and sit for hours drinking coffee at a restaurant. She wasn’t a fabulous cook (OK, Gwen, no laughing), but we had food on the table.

Proverbs 10:12b … but love covereth all sins.
