She told me she almost met Jesus recently.
Yes—it was that close.
Maybe He understood her work here on Earth isn't finished just yet.
The good news is, my mother has returned home after a lengthy hospital stay that began before Easter. She called me from the ICU and urged me not to come. Even while she was in danger, she was already thinking ahead—dreaming about spending time with our family in Maui later this year.
"I'm going on vacation with you," she said, heavily sedated.
"Please don’t give up your vacation time. I’ll be fine."
If you know me—or any of my siblings—you’ll understand where our steadfastness comes from. The six of us have been blessed with a mother who goes the distance with us through every trial, even when she's in the midst of her own.
The world is a better place because of mothers like her.
If you're a mother, please savor this day.
Please know how deeply grateful we are for all that you do—seen and unseen, spoken and unspoken.
God bless all our mothers.
Have a beautiful and joy-filled Mother’s Day.
