It’s Good Friday. I’ll apologize now for the video voiceover….it was recorded before we knew about Mom, so it’s not me being callous.
I think a nest with a couple yet-to-be-born eggs in it is probably one of the best subjects to honor Mom. She had me and my older sis on Good Friday of 1964. A third egg was added years later, but the bird sitting on this nest would have been…my mama.
But I’d like to tell you my Mom/Good Friday story, so keep reading…..and enjoy the video as if the world hadn’t just crashed around me.

A little story
Good Friday every year of my life was spent the same way. Hearing the story of the day I was born.
Every year on my phone call with Mom, she’d remind me that I was born on Good Friday – and she knew the pain of Jesus! We would laugh about it, year after year.
Oh what I wouldn’t give to have one more year of laughing with her.
