This time of the year is always hard for me. It's my birthday - which is obviously a joyous occasion. However, at the same time, it's the anniversary of my mother's death. She passed away three days before my birthday. My parents wedding anniversary was also the same day as my birthday so I visit the mausoleum where they are buried every year on my birthday.
The week before my birthday I received a card from an unknown address. I opened it and began reading it. It was from Judy Morray, a lady at my church. I had been on the church's prayer list for the week and she wanted to take the time to send me a short note to let me know I was on her mind. She said she knew that it must be difficult for me to not have my parents around but that she knew I was making them proud.
I don't think when Judy sent the note that she knew that it was sent at the perfect time when I needed to hear those words. People rarely send you cards in the mail anymore, and definitely don't take the time to write a personal message. Her message was short, simple, sweet and full of so much meaning. Thanks Judy!!!
