My Parents
31 years ago today my mom died. This was her last picture. My youngest son was just 6 weeks old, and my parents were going to Florida for the winter. I was going to miss them. They would be back by April to file their income taxes. Home shopping club had been advertising this new telephone device, that you plugged your phone into it, and if someone had the same device, you could see them while you were talking to them! Futuristic for sure! We didn’t buy them. My mom died the next day, after they arrived in Florida to their house trailer from a heart attack. She was 70 years old. That was a Sunday morning August 8, 1991. I was just remembering our conversations of how I was going to miss her and how I wished we had those devices to see each other while we talked. 31 years later, I just finished talking to my older son and daughter in law from my Ipad with FaceTime. We FaceTime all the time without thinking about it. 31 years ago it was a dream. I never had another phone call from my mom after she left, and she didn’t come back in April. My Dad came back two days later. I saw my mom at her funeral. She has been with the Lord these past 31 years. My dad joined her on October 31, 1999. Time sure does fly by and things change so much in this world. The Good news is The Lord never changes! His Word doesn’t change either. Some people think it should change to accept today’s changes. I have peace that it doesn’t change. The Bible says, Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. Hebrews 13:8❤️
