It made me think of a good old Baptist song that I have unfortunately heard too often. " When time shall come for my leaving, When I bid you adieu; Don't spend your money for flowers, Just a rose will do. Just have an old fashioned preacher . Preach a sermon so true; I'll need no beautiful flowers, Just a rose will do. I'll need no organization, Just to make a "to do," I'll need no bright decorations, Just a rose will do. I'll go to a beautiful garden, At last when life's work is thru; Don't spend your money on flowers, Just a rose will do. " Keeping calling your sweet Mom and your oh so special Dad. I love your post.

When the guys get wounded on the battlefield they call for mom. When I was a kid and had the stomach bug, my mom gave me Co-Cola and peppermint candy. Now I am an old Doc, but that is what I still reach for when I come down with the virus. Dr. B Byron, I am the same way. When the guys get wounded on the battlefield they call for mom.

This year I didn't have a real rose to wear so I had my daughter draw one, color it red and I pinned it to my white dress shirt. Everyone thought that the choir director had gone crazy, but when I looked out at the congregation during my opening hymn I saw something that made it all worth while. Sitting 5 rows back from the front, on the pew that I sit in after leading the worship service, was my dear sweet mother. She had skipped going to her own church and made a surprise appearance at mine. I had to fight back tears the entire service. I loath the day when I will have to wear that white one...

You are exactly right- if I were blindfolded and led back to the old homeplace I’d know I was there from that peculiar familar smell.

What a tough year that must have been. I can’t imagine.

My home's been in heaven for a while now. We wore roses to church when we were kids, too. Whether we're talking my mama, Grandmother or Grandma, all my roses changed to white the same year. Susan Dr. T,
I tell my kids, “No matter how old you are, home is where your mama is.” My home’s been in heaven for a while now.
We wore roses to church when we were kids, too.
Whether we’re talking my mama, Grandmother or Grandma, all my roses changed to white the same year.

I don't know exactly what heaven is, but in bluegrass we all talk about meeting on the other side, and I believe we do, but I don't know exactly how. I have been told in heaven I can lay down my stethescope, 'cause it won't be needed. (No sickness there) If I'll stick with the doctor gig on earth, my reward will be to be a world class mandolin player for eternity. (I ain't that good here.) Dr. B Well it is sad Pande.
