So yesterday, I went ahead and did something I don't usually do, and really something I want to start doing yearly (and that's send out cards). Anyways, one of those cards went to a family friend. I don't know why, but I think it's because God has been pushing me to do so. I've felt it tugging on my heart, and felt the need to do so. Granted, this person isn't fully Christian (she's half Jewish or something like that).
Anyways, about this family friend, she's really more than a family friend. She's like another Aunt to my brothers and I. When my mother spent those last few months battling her cancer, she was there for us, and did her best to help out. For some odd reason, there was a falling out (due to my father, and for the life of me, I can't figure out why that was the case). Regardless, it's something that has bugged me ever since my mom passed.
Anyways, today I got a phone call from her, and I heard the pure joy in her voice. It made her day (her words, not mine). It was much needed. I'm hoping my brothers and I get to see more of her in 2012. I also greatly feel that it's what my mom would have wanted. Don't think she would have been happy with the falling out like that.
