"Blessed is she who trusts that the promises made to her by God would be fulfilled."
This Christmas Eve we remember the 8th anniversary of our mother's passing so silently into the arms of God on the day she loved the most. However, it has changed the way we celebrate Christmastime Perhaps it has made us more thoughtful, compassionate, and childlike as we remember her sharp, sharp mind, her wee bit of anti-clericalism, her down to earth sensibility, and her refusal to be impressed by much of what others thought impressive. Yes, it was she who created all the stories starring the animals whose personality traits strongly resembled those of our neighbors! And yes, she did make a fuss over those little bottles of Evening in Paris cologne we would give her each Christmas. They seemed to disappear rapidly though. We thought she had used it all up!
