Our own Esther Miller (pictured at left) has a beautifully written guest post called “A Visit With Mom” on Karen R. Sanderson’s WordShark blog today. Head on over there (Click Here) and read Esther’s story about how hometown people she barely knew gave her the gift of connection with her mother, who had died 15 years earlier.

“I realized that when people give of themselves to other people, those parts they give away live on in those people. For one afternoon, those parts came together and I had an unforgettable visit with my mother.”

Be sure to leave a comment there and tell them Heartspoken sent you!

    Thank you for sharing Esther’s blog here, Elizabeth. And you picked a perfect quote! I love this story. I have had a few people tell me that I remind them of mom (Lois), though I never really saw it or heard it until recently.
