Week #10 Theme: Remembering Mom-Eva


I have been thinking a lot about Mom-Eva this spring. One reason is that yesterday marked the twenty-second anniversary of her death. I miss her. Another reason is that I am now the age that Mom was when she passed away. Back then I knew she was young, but now I realize that she was very young! Somehow, I think that if she were to answer my questions about life right now, she would tell me to take stock, be grateful for what is, and go on to live in Christ joyfully and sacrificially every single day that I'm allowed here on this earth. (I will do that, Mom, in memory of you. Ok, you probably knew too, that saying it would make me cry.) And this week I will post pics of things that remind me of her. She was a wonderful cook. One of the mouth-watering comfort foods she made was poor man's steak. We were sort of poor when I was growing up, but when I would eat this kind of steak at her table surrounded by our family and/or friends, I felt rich.

  1. Thanks, Bethany! I'm guessing you can relate...in many ways...to how I'm feeling. A hug right back.
