Well Trav, I guess you were right. I know we’ve always given Mom a hard time – from knocking on the door incessantly while she’s in the bathroom while yelling her name like in Big Bang Theory, to locking the door before she can get in the car and/or driving off while she’s still trying to get in, teasing Mom is our specialty. But one thing you always reminded me that I’ve taken for granted is that Mom is the strongest person we know.
No other
person in my life has been through as much as she has and still come out the
other side not only a stronger woman, but a stronger Christian. Mom is a
constant beam of light in my darkest days, and I know she was that for you too.
She has always been our biggest fan, and I know she always will be.
“My soul is weary
with sorrow; strengthen me according to your word.”
–Isaiah 40:29
She is
hurting so badly from losing you. She’s not afraid to show it or say it, and
she admits that this is the hardest thing she’s ever gone through. But she has
shown Mo and me now more than ever that she is strong enough to make it, and
that she’s the best role model we could ever ask for.
You were a
smart man for marrying her. And I’m glad you did.
Happy
birthday Mom!
Love, Bubba
