MOM
March 18, 2023
You are no longer with me and able to verify any history that I grope for with my sister now but, I want you to know how extremely proud of you we are. I talk to you mom, because I know you can hear me. Growing up in your home was like a fairy tale. The one story I know is how you prayed for me to be born. You repeatedly told me the story of how you could not get pregnant for years and years after you got married. How you prayed and promised God that you would dedicate me to Him if only you could get pregnant. You explained this is why I was named David from the Bible. Fast forward to our last conversation before you passed. You asked me the most surprising and profound question and a question I had never considered. You said, "David, what is the earliest memory of yourself?" In the middle of my surprise over this question, I instantly knew the answer, and began to sing this song to you. "Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so, Little ones to Him belong, they are weak but He is strong. Yes Jesus loves me, Yes Jesus loves me, Yes Jesus loves me, the Bible tells me so." With tears streaming down my face, I kissed you good bye. See you soon mom. Love you forever ~ Your son David.
