Mothers' Day doesn't get better than this!

My Mom was able to fly out from Saskatchewan to be at Jill and Andrew's wedding. Remember that 15 months earlier, she had a massive brain aneurism.  Due to immediate surgery, much prayer, and time, Mom started getting significantly more alert and self-sufficient last fall.  It was in December that she first showed interest in coming to the wedding.  My brother Howard and his wife Lori accompanied Mom on the trip out to BC, but he said that she really didn't need any assistance.  What a miracle!  

All along, my Dad was the healthy one.  Yet, as the wedding day approached, he had this nagging cold that kept him down.  In the end, he was unable to come.   We always thought it would likely be the other way around.

What a great Mothers' Day gift - to have Mom back!
