“Be strong.”
As we plan my mother’s funeral, the word Strong comes up over and over. Be strong. Your mother was so strong.
What is strong?
Mom was a tall, physically strong woman, who grew up working on the farm. Her grip was strong. When she held your hand, you knew it. She could heave 25 pound bags of flour with one hand.
