Thinking about Mom: the last time I saw her I drove from Canada to Colorado to visit her in her in her final rest home. A young Lutheran minister was there.
He was visibly upset by her condition. Mom told him “All is well. You may go now.” He did.
She then asked me to say the doxology. (I remembered it!) Our daughter, Margaret Riley, was present. After a short conversation, Mom said, “You should go home to your wife now, son. I love you.”
And I did. And I do.
