Mom's Good Character Training
Mom's "good" character training were different than our Dads.
She loved and taught me how to keep going through the hardest pain and circumstances! She had Lung Cancer and was almost blind, along with other physical diseases, during her final years!
I like to remember her, when she Shot the Mendenhall. That's a rough rapid trip down a river in Alaska. She was one of the few women who would even dare to get into a raft and go down those rough rapids, during a vacation trip with a very special lady friend, that she has. She would even go on the whopper-duper upside down, high and fast rides, in those amusement parks, while people said "bravo Kelly"! And I had to even pray hard, just to handle going up a high roadway in the mountains, with no railing on the sides.
Then there were her silly ways, like going to bed with her boots still on, because her feet were swollen and she just decided to go to bed with them on any way.There was no sitting in the rocking chair for this woman, until she had to, when her physical strength demanded it. She started saying, in more recent years, "scratch that one off the list of things that I can't do anymore".
In her younger years, she cooked, cleaned, took care of her husband and family, ran a pet shop, gardened, volunteered for Girl Scout things (and that's when the Girl Scouts promised to "obey God" and their country), and made cookies and cup cakes, as a room mother for our school groups. Whew!
Mom gave her life to the Lord Jesus in her final years.
She left us here, with a "MIRACLE SMILE of her face”, to go to be in Paradise with Jesus in 2005.
I loved you Mom and are so glad for you that your suffering is over here!
