This marks the week three years ago that Mom called me to tell me she was planning to come down to the Valley to decide on the plans for her little cottage in LaFeria. She had great plans to deal with her loneliness in losing Dad. She was going to build a duplex on the family property on Hartshorn Road next to Curtis and move out of the big house of 50 years. She was going to locate an assisted living locale near Karen in Houston, and she was going to empty her little mobile to a smaller home near me. All of that meant she still loved and wanted to be near us. She loved driving again after the pandemic and was purposefully regrouping and taking charge of her life. But her life turned suddenly when she took her J&J vaccine and by testimony of her neurology team pharmacist at VBH she had enough warfarin in her system for her heart conditions to never have produced a blood clot. He said, when I asked if the vaccine caused the massive clotting that caused her stroke, he replied sadly, “yes.” She was committed to life, to living an exemplary life, and to live in faith that the Lord, her savior and mine, was still caring for her and directing her just as the generations of Dunns and Finleys and Cochrans had exemplified for hundreds of years before. She loved Dad, she loved us, she loved America and she loved Texas…and not all in that particular order! She was an amazing mother…one in a million! Happy Mother’s Day in Heaven, Mom. I love you and can’t wait till we are all together again! By the looks of this old world, I think Jesus may very well be coming back real soon!
