Does Mother Miss Me?
4/20/2007 8:43:00 AM


God ministered to me through the poem.
In 1974, we learned that my youngest brother, Pat, had a fast-growing cancer. He subsequently had amputation of his leg and pelvis on one side. Pat loved the Lord, and was so brave and wonderful through it all, often clowning around and even making jokes about his "missing" hair. At a reunion, he said we should give prizes for "the handsomest bald man." He bragged about never needing to buy socks, since he had twice as many as he needed.

Mom was broken-hearted since she first heard that her "baby" had cancer. She was sure he would die.
She had not had a happy life, and she lived for her kids.

Through her stress over Pat's illness and other circumstances, she died when I was 34. (Pat died 8 months later)

I was so crushed by Mom's death, and could not believe she could be really happy without me and the rest of our family.
As I cried to the Lord, He gave me the thoughts and words of the poem, "Does Mother Miss Me?" That was about 3 months after her homegoing. That poem ministered to me in a wonderful way, and I have treasured it eve since.

It has been read in churches, used in Mothers' Day programs, and I have sent it to friends who are grieving.

I hope it blesses you!
