Christmas cards arrived from almost every state in the union,along with cards from Germany,France,Australia etc.Mom was continually surprised that these total(29)Bwould take the time to send her a card along with their best(30)B and prayers.
The response was shocking,(31)C anything I could have imagined.Mom received more than 1,200 Christmas cards.Whenever someone (32)A for a visit,she would (33)A show them.It was the best Christmas present ever for my parents and a welcome diversion from the reality of Mom's cancer.
(34)D,Mom passed away in early March 2013.I smile as I remember her opening her cards,and her(35)D as she looked at every one.The cards remain a proof to the thoughtfulness of friends,relatives and many wonderful strangers.They're also a proof to the power of love.
