Mom,
I count myself as among the luckiest children in the world. To have been adopted by you and Dad and grow in such a loving, caring, supportive environment is a gift from God through you. Our memories together and with family will always be treasured. Especially the annual visits and travels during my birthday since Dad passed in 1998. I remember vividly the summer when you met my new girlfriend, now my soul mate and wife, I asked what we would do for my birthday that year (2004). You said I didn’t need to spend time with you since I had Candy in my life. I thought for a bit, and then asked whether you would like to spend time with me at the Whitaker clinic. You replied you thought I wasn’t interested in that; and though I hadn’t been, it was worth it for the time with you. It turned out to be worth it for me as well. Since then, Candy and I have both enjoyed continuing the tradition for spending time with you during my birthday. Now, I celebrate my belief that you are reunited with Dad, your soul mate, and the child you never got to know in the presence of our Lord and Saviour.
Until we meet again!
Love,
Brad

Around this time was one of several where Mom was quick to “repair me” when I had “boo-boo”. On the morning of a day when I was supposed to perform at a piano recital later in the day, I was riding my bicycle, lost control, and created a somewhat significant gash in my lower leg. There wasn’t time to go to a doctor (urgent care didn’t exist then) to get stiches. But Mom, the practical nurse, know how to create a butterfly bandage that worked as well. That and some aspirin took care of me so I could perform at the recital.
