Memories of Mom: “She’s a Tough Act to Follow”
Submitted By: Louise Adams Hess
Three things I’ll always remember about my Mom: Her kind heart and love of God; her love for family; and her love of laughter.
One day when I was little (age 4 or 5), a “bum” came to our back porch door and asked for work. I had never see a “bum” before, and so I watched carefully from the comfort of the nearby grass as Mom told him she didn’t have any work for him but asked if he was hungry; then she brought him a bowl of corned beef and cabbage and some bread. He ate it hungrily as mom talked to him about God. It wasn’t long after that when I observed my mom as she knelt at a chair in our front room. She cried and prayed there often. I wanted to know more about this praying and talking to God, so I tapped her on the shoulder to ask.
