Today is the anniversary of Brent's mother's (Vanita's) homecoming . . . to Heaven that is . . . 40 years ago. I am afraid that I often don't remember the day like I should . . . and I really want to do better. If it weren't for her and Brent's father's sacrificial love and their obedience to God, and if it weren't for the love and nurture of his mom, Joyce, I would not have the husband that I have today. All three of them sacrificed and obeyed and gave their lives in ways most people wouldn't. It is amazing the different views that Brent and I have about "other" mothers (Brent does NOT like the word "stepmother") based on the way non-biological moms (and dad's in my case) treated us. I was going to write more about it for those of you who do not know the story, but then I remembered a post on Brent's blog a few Mother's Days ago, and just thought I would share the link. Brent expresses everything so much better than I do. So, take some time and check out this post he wrote about his moms and his dad. They are all incredible!!!
