Born

Little one. Growing in the dark confines of the womb. 

Moving, turning, kicking, squirming. 

And, one day, fighting the push through the birth canal. 

Born into a bright new world.

My mother

One of the strongest, most determined women I know. And funny. My mother. 

A devoted follower of Christ. And gifted teacher. Mom and grandmother (Nani).

Countless are the ways her life impacts mine. And every time I try to put it down on paper, I fall short of words. 

But we’re celebrating her 90th birthday this week.

So, here goes. Some personal thoughts and memories. 

O give thanks to the Lord, Mom. Great things He has done!

My mother. 2021.
