Today is my Great Aunt Betty's 85th birthday. Today is also the day she will be buried.
Aunt Betty was a gentle and tender woman with a sweet smile that always made you smile back. And she loved the Lord.
With the loss of Aunt Betty, we are confronted with the fact that when we leave for Africa, life here will go on. There will be deaths. There will be births. There will be graduations, birthdays and weddings which we will not be present. These events will add to the distance we will feel from home and family.
