Mc For four years, now, I ' ve been one of your C.B.C. boys, being mothered by you through so many little and big troubles. And now I can ' t quite think how I shall manage to get along without you. You ve been such a wonderful mother. How I thank God for the love you ' ve had for us boys- expressed in so many different ways as only a mother knows how— yet so single in purpose— to love as the Lord Jesus loves. Remember the Scrabble games that you always won — even though you let me use the dictionary? Remember all the handfuls of popcorn I consumed while we talk- ed about that certain one ? Remember how you kept me in stitches when mine kept coming undone? Re- member the little visits scattered throughout the year- just to say hello — that never seemed to be without a cookie, or maybe a delicious piece of your home- made cake? Mom, I surely could go for a piece of that cake right now. ... Mom Shepherd. ..that ' s what I really wanted to write about. You were so much a Mom , and to so many of us so much a Shepherd — upholding and pro- tecting your flock with your prayers, gently leading us with such wise advice, and always annointing us with your love. God was so good to let me be a mem- ber of that flock, Mom. I can ' t help hating to leave you. But even so, I can thank God for this: that all those who continue coming through C.B.C. will have a part in sharing in the wonderful, warm blessing that makes up our own Mom Shepherd. With much love, Your Son ...YOU always kept me in stitches... ' ...NEVER a visit without a cookie... MOM, how ' s your bird today? ' MOM, can I use the dictionary again? '
