I said see you later to my Mom this week on Fathers Day. She passed away after a ravaging battle with Parkinsons disease. She was only 69.
About a month ago, we were given word that she had only a few more days to live. My Dad could no longer care for her, so we moved my Mom into the Holland Hospice House; her final earthly home. There was walked with her during her final days (which turned out to be several weeks). We talked, we laughed, we showered kisses and we cried. I whispered sweet things into ears and held her frail hands. Each day was overwhelmingly difficult, yet it same vane was a gift as we were able to say goodbye over and over again.
Right after she drew her last breath Sunday night, a vertical rainbow appeared over the Hospice House. As I drove over there to be with my Dad and family, I saw this rainbow for only a few seconds. I was exhausted and dismissed this as an anomaly since it was not raining. When I arrived, I heard that my siblings also saw this rainbow. The staff tending to my Mom also witnessed it – a short vertical rainbow as my Mom rose to the arms of Jesus.
Some may call the vertical rainbow a coincidence. Others, like me, believe that it was a sign of Gods promise to His believers; a sign that He fulfills his promise for all eternity.
Thats why I can faithfully say see you later Mom. I know that one day Ill be in her loving arms once again.
I just read this yesterday. It made me cry. I miss Mom so much, but know she is well and whole again.
Today is my first birthday without her. I hope I see a rainbow today.
