Greetings Michael, Your heart-felt remembrance was an emotional read and also an unexpected one.

As the saying goes: “A Mother’s love is next to God’s love.”

I’m sorry you have had to bear the unknown incident that caused your Mother death. One thing for sure, whatever your challenges, pain and grief you have had to endure, has made you into an exception man.

Thank you for sharing part of your journey with us and your observations as you travel from country to country.

Wishing you all the kindness and love you deserve.

That is one of the sweetest tributes Ive ever read , and that song is so haunting. No wonder it made such an impression on a Seven year old. I hadn’t heard it in years but it stayed with me for days after I read your post about her.

Any Mother would be so proud to have you for a son, but that honor is reserved only for the beautiful Callie Eason Yon, who was instrumental in molding you during your early formative years into the man you are today. She did more in a few short years than most do in a lifetime. You are a good man who is giving… your life really…and “to those who have ears to hear “ good information and guidance for the perilous times ahead . You are much appreciated. Thanks for sharing your sweet mother with us on this special day.

Love your tribute to your Mom. Your Mom is loving the man her little boy grew up to be. 😵‍💫Very evocative song. Loved Bread. Listening to it opens the memories floodgates.

So moving and inspiring. This pain of loss has likely made you the strong, driven man you are, and it’s because God doesn’t make mistakes in the molding of his creatures. You were and are being marvelously made for a purpose and you carry the burdens that compel you with grace. Somebody once said, “I ain’t nothin’ but God’s pocket change, and He can spend me any way He wants.” We’re being spent as we cooperate, and, as for me, success will mean using the gifts I’ve been given until there’s nothing left! Carry on, Michael! (What an incredibly beautiful mother you have!) 🌺

Thank you Michael for this wonderful tribute to your mother. It made me think about all my close relatives who died these past years and brought tears to my eyes. Your post is so utterly eloquent and beautiful that it will be remembered in the context of the loss we all share when we lose those who we love. And the music was a perfect complement.
