THE GIFT OF GOD..

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MANY, MANY YEARS

I WENT TO A CEMETERY IN TACOMA

 WITH MY SISTER, BETTY.

 I WAS HEAVILY AROUND AND ABOUT 

IN THE NORTHWEST IN JULY, 2013, AND 

THIS WAS A VERY UNUSUAL AND SPECIAL TIME.

I HAD READ SOME OF THE EXTRA INFO CONNECTED TO MOM AFTER SHE DIED, JANUARY, 2011. ONE PIECE I WAS HANDED IN APRIL, 2011, DURING A VISIT, I HAD READ THAT WHEN RUTH HAD DIED HER DAD WANTED

 TO ADOPT ANOTHER GIRL.

[I HAD HEARD ABOUT RUTH SINCE I WAS A KID, BUT DIFFERENT INFO WAS GIVEN TO ME THEN.  I THOUGHT SHE AND MOM HAD LIVED TOGETHER FOR A FEW YEARS UNTIL RUTH DIED AND THE DAD DIED IN 1928.  NOW TOLD THAT WAS NOT TRUE.]

MY MOM, MIRACULOUSLY, WAS ADOPTED 

AT HER BIRTH IN JULY, 1920. SADLY, HER DAD HAD DIED WHEN SHE WAS 8 YEARS OLD.  HER REALLY, TRULY

 LOVING PARENT WAS GONE THEN.

ONE OF MY HEART DESIRES IS TO MEET RUTH WHEN I'M IN HEAVEN.  I WON'T BE A YOUNG 'UN WHEN I GET THERE, BECAUSE I'M AN OLD 'UN.

BUT SHE WENT TO HEAVEN WHEN SHE WAS

 ONLY 5-2/3 YEARS OLD.

I'M TRULY LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING

 MY AUNT RUTH,

NOT THROUGH THE GENETIC WAY, BUT THROUGH THE FAMILY- CARING WAY THAT BROUGHT 

MOM TO THEIR LIFE, 

AND AS CRAZY AS SOME THINGS TOOK PLACE CONNECTED TO THAT FAMILY DURING MOM'S YEARS,

 IT'S PROOF AFTER PROOF AFTER PROOF THAT

GOD       IS      BIGGER.
