“My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” Psalm 73: 25b-26.
There were no tears at our mother’s deathbed this week. It’s true.
It wasn’t because she wasn’t a wonderful person, mother, and friend.
It was because she had suffered with Alzheimer’s for six years and we rejoiced to have her set free from a brain and body that no longer functioned as they should.
We cling to the promise that she is once again whole.
Of course, the next day it hit me that I would never see her smile again or hear her call my name. I broke down, as you would expect. I will miss my mother!
But God is our family’s strength and hope.
And our portion forever.
