The Burial

Today is a special day for me. Today we put Mom's ashes in the grave. So, my wife and my brother are I are taking my Dad to the cemetery in Toronto. My mom was 93 so she had a great, long life.

For the last few years, I'd been thinking about the day she passes away - and how might I deal with that situation. How painful will it be for me? Will I get over it?

My wife and I were at a concert by Kathy Troccoli a few years ago and Kathy told us that when these big events happen, and you think you can't handle it, God gives you the strength to get thru. And I totally feel that way. It must be God because otherwise I'm pretty sure I'd be falling apart. I'm sure there will be a few tears, but I do feel strong.

Last year during Sharathon Mom and I shared a short moment alone in my office. We talked about LIFE 100.3, our mission and her thoughts. Mom told me "I know who my Lord and Saviour is" and that gave me immense peace knowing that Mom knew then that Jesus awaits us on the other side.

The burial is at 2pm today. I would appreciate your prayers and thoughts.
