I lost a friend

I lost a friend the other day, her name was Cora Mozler.
There are people in this world who abuse people in my family every day. Forgiveness is a difficult situation under those circumstances. Cora was a lady who didn't know what the word abuse meant. She was so good to me and so good to members of my family that I could not help but love her. She died of cancer, and we know how debilitating that can be. She helped people even on the last days of her life when she was suffering the most.
Cora you were a great lady, a great person, you will never be forgotten.

Mother's Day

I have been away for a while, life is very busy, I had 2 websites and 2 blogsites, I guess it was too much to maintain them all.
Today is Mother's Day. This is a day to honor our mothers if they are alive and to remember them if they have passed on.
I would like to remember my mother today, and honor her too. I am sure she is in heaven and I can't wait to see her.
My mother was the disciplinarian of the family, so she stood right out in our lives. She wanted to bring up her kids to be good people so she felt discipline was necessary and she acted accordingly.
I can remember criticizing her as a child and thinking she was too hard on us. A couple of years ago I went to a function at school where a man talked about the way to bring your kids up to be good people and how to do it. My mother could have taught that class, because it was exactly the way she was.
My mother was a christian, and proud of it. We were in church every Sunday, every Wednesday and any other time the door opened.
Mom, you were not perfect like the rest of us, but you certainly did the best you could, and I love you for it. I can't wait to see you.
