We drove to the Parker Cabin in the Joseph Peak area of the mountains surrounding my husband's birthplace. His sister passed away last December, and we were all coming together to scatter her ashes in her favorite place at the top of the mountains. It was a beautiful with my father dedicating the area where her ashes are. It was a time of renewal for those of us who hadn't seen each other for many years.
Mary was a "conflicted person” with inner conflict. We loved her in her mood swings (she suffered from bi-polar disorder) and loved her in her wonderful attitudes. She was talented in baking, quilting, and crocheting. I am grateful for all that she taught me.
We deal with such persons every day and it is important to love them and pray for them. There are some experiences where there will never be resolution. It is in the way that we respond to them that is important.
