She thanks me often for honoring her, "opening water bottles" and chauffeuring her to and from doctors appointments.<br /><br />I feel so blessed to honor her and do things for her she's no longer able to do. She's my mama, a strong woman of God and an inspiration to me.<br /><br />"Thank you Lord for a special grace upon us as we travel this journey of aging parents. May your Love and Comfort overshadow these precious ones that gave us life and pointed us to You"......<br /><br />Thank you for this post. It blessed and encouraged my heart today!<br /><br />Sweet Blessings!<br />JackieJackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08471225291665810800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-53610363069547248522010-01-20T08:29:06.316-06:002010-01-20T08:29:06.316-06:00Lisa, This is a journey that is difficult.

Now as I see my mom slowly falling into his steps and carring on life without my dad. As a child and older I always loved my dad's hands I'm so glad I had a photographer take these photos. Many hugs my friend! xo...Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05809643560097517895noreply@blogger.com
