Mom's 79th birthday is celebrated today in heaven.
I really love the music of
Carolyn Arends. I especially like the song "We've Been Waiting for You," where she describes a baby's birth as moving into a whole new world, surrounded by those who have been waiting to welcome the child. She draws a parallel to death, where we will move into a new and different world, and where our arrival is eagerly anticipated.
And watching you come into this world
Baby, you've made me believe
Another journey awaits us
So when I have to leave
I am pretty sure that I'll be frightened
But even if I cry, please understand
I will know I'm not alone
When my room is ready I'll go home
And when I reach the gate
I'm going to hear them saying
We've been waiting for you
We're so glad you came
We've been looking forward
To showing you the place
There's so much in store and
We've been waiting for you

This is the way we remember Doris. It was a joy to be in her company. Doris has left a beautiful legacy.
The song is beautiful.
