Holding Mom's Hand - Image 1117962

This Hand -

This hand held my little fingers when I entered the world.

This hand held my hand as I was nurtured as a toddler, exploring the big ol’ world.

This hand held my hand as I was guided around the rights and wrongs around me.

This hand held my hand (figuratively) when I grew up and thought I knew everything.

This hand held my hand when she was scared or uncertain of a medical procedure.

This hand held my hand when once dancing legs became unstable.

This hand was held by my hand this morning when an earthly life transitioned to a heavenly eternity where bodies are perfect and suffering is no more.

Our hands held each other through so many challenges.

Now this hand, my hand, is alone as I face a different life – a life without that motherly hand to hold.
