Besides the death of a spouse or a child, the death of a parent is a watershed moment in a persons life. In my case, losing both parents in the span of five years and at such a young age was a deeply profound loss. Being able to be with each of them in their last days and hours on earth was an incredible privilege. This picture that was taken moments before I delivered my mom’s eulogy in May is completely heartbreaking. Seeing her Little Lamb escorting her body on her last hours before being committed to her new “neighborhood” is both comforting and also heart wrenching. My life, my brother’s life, and our family’s life will never be the same. I mourn mom everyday as I remember her gentle spirit, her love for her family, her love of the Lord, and her trust in our family as she spent her last years here in Greeley. I love you, mom.
