Fresh on my mind is that her memory will continue to fade
so each moment is a treasure and the group family photos with her will recall
the family times that she has always valued so much. My cousins would do
anything to have one more minute with their mother, my precious Aunt Dude on
the Buck side of my family plus Aunt Esther and Aunt Thelma on the VanMeter
side. Yes, we were all taught to
appreciate the importance of family from our youth with our aunts being a
second “Mom” and our cousins being more like siblings from another mother.
The definition of family and the significance for some
may change over time as a matter of convenience, familial bias or trivial “eruptions”
that are blown out of proportion or imagined which hold little or no value to what is truly
important in life: God’s love and the importance and significance He places on
family.
There will always be disruptions but there will not
always be times to share with one’s mother so get out of your own mind and make
it happen. Please put aside what maybe
foremost in your mind tied to your interpretation of the actions of others that
mushrooms into such anger in your heart and feeds confusion in your mind. This is a season of love and possibilities if
only you will open your heart, eyes and ears to what is right in front of you
and accept the fellowship extended by others.
Love and forgiveness have no limits and is expounded in
the Bible numerous times as well as other secular media options which are
inferior in nature but will hold some truths none the less.
