P.S. Lord

My mother has been in the hospital since Monday afternoon, and I have been spending most of the day with her each day. We have begun a habit that, when it's time for me to go, we say a prayer together.

Mom always wants me to say it, but when I finish, every single time she pipes up "But you forgot to say..." and then says another one!

It has become a little joke, something that makes us both smile. In fact, yesterday I left her early  in the afternoon and so I called her after supper to check on her.

"Would you like to pray, Mom?" I asked.

"No, honey, it's okay," she responded.

"Not even your usual 'P.S. Lord'?" I joked.

And she launched into prayer!
