…a brief glance…

…as these words were uttered by Bobbie on Thursday night at the Colour Conference, a sob involuntarily escaped, for these simple words that encapsulated Catherine Booth’s last breath, defined those last moments in the hospital with my Mom. Without glancing at my oldest friend to my left, I knew that she was crying for the same reason. My Mom was a warrior who fought the battles that needed to be fought (and some that didn’t) and she has been through a hard life, but in those last moments, she did lay down her sword to receive the crown that was awaiting her.
