On this day it can be hard with the lo...Dear Kalen,<br />On this day it can be hard with the loss of your Mom but she would want you to do just what you have done with her memory and so many beautiful happy pictures.<br /> <br />Dad and I also had the opportunity to meet your Mom and see just how happy she was and how her eyes had nothing but love for you. I always look at the eyes because they tell the true story.<br /><br />With all that your Mother was enduring her happiness which brought her enduring worth to life. It was her happiness and contentment that filled the soul even in the midst of the most distressing circumstances and the most bitter environment. It was the kind of happiness that grins when things go wrong and smiles through the tears. The happiness for which our souls ache is one undisturbed by success or failure, one which will root deeply inside us and give inward relaxation, peace, and contentment, no matter what the surface problems may be. Kalen, that was your Mom and you were so lucky to have her in your life for as long as God needed her to be on earth. All were blessed by her presence.<br /><br />We love you and our thoughts are with you today and always. We are so blessed to have you in our family.<br />Love, Mom and Dadmariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15297097252601790622noreply@blogger.com
