To Sister Pugh on Easter Sunday

April 20, 2014


Sister Pugh,

I woke up this morning thinking about Easter. Probably because it is Easter and I was giving the lesson in Primary. I posted this on Facebook "As I was resting this morning, I thought of my dad, who must delighted with a full head of hair. I only knew him as bald. And then I thought of my mom, kicking up her high heels because she no longer has to move around in an achy breaky body. Thanks to Jesus Christ, we have the hope of eternal life. Happy Easter!" I did think of my dad's recovering from his hearing loss, but I didn't post that, because I have done that before. (My dad got his hearing back when he died.) But I did comment later about my own hearing loss. When I was four, I had an earache that wasn't attended to. (My parents were poor and we didn't have insurance.) When I think of the resurrection for me, I imagine I will be listening to a symphony of beautiful noises, picking out sounds I have forgotten.
I also thought today of what I wrote on Facebook when my mom passed. "My Mom is well. She is with my Dad once again and having a joyful reunion with her sister, Verla and her parents. She has even met my Grandpa Jackson for the first time. I will miss my Mom, but I have the faith that she is where she needs to be with her family that she hasn't seen for so long. Mom, like my Dad will continue to watch over me. Thank you all for your support and prayers during this ordeal. It has meant a lot. Prayers were answered and will continue to be answered."I actually wrote that Labor Day weekend before she passed. My mom had a rough night that Saturday and I think I knew then that she would not be long with us. When I read that post just now, I got tears again. But I know because of our Savior did, I will see my mom again. She loves me and I am sure that she is like my dad, watching over her children.
