I wondered the other day how a mother could even think that, let alone say it. But then, Mama was a woman who defied exact definition. She was strong, smart, courageous, sometimes outrageous, and, above all, ruled a faith that was simply unbendable and unquestionable.
That part of her was definable and clear: She believed unyieldingly in an Almighty God who never left her side. Even when it could have seemed that He did.
