In the Arms of Jesus

Last night, my mother passed away. She had family with her, and passed peacefully, after being ill most of the year. This picture was taken at Thanksgiving last month, and I am indeed thankful that I got to spend it with her. I was blessed to be at her side for her last hour. She was born on a Friday the 13th, and died one day short of Friday the 13th. Rest in peace, Mom.
