It was the number……- Matt and Sarah are missionaries that we support with Faith Promise. . They work with educating children of missionaries in Antigua, Guatemala. Sarah’s mother passed away on August 9. The announcement went on to include her mailing address to encourage during Sarah’s sadness over losing her mom. I knew I had to write her, a total stranger, especially with September 9 coming closer.
Thinking back to September 2019, I remembered the cards sent from others, the words that encouraged, and the feeling of how others understand when your parent enters eternal rest with our heavenly Father. I kept every card and periodically reread them. At some point, I will need to throw them away but not yet. A familiar sight on Sunday evenings was my mother paying bills and also writing notes to others. She would send notes to my aunt in Virginia, people in the church, and various other people.
As September 9 comes closer and I am trying to think of ways to remember my mother, this is one way- letter writing.
