Angel Hands

Today I was thinking about my mother's hands and the last time I held them.  She was on her way out of town and I just happened to run into her at the local convenience store.  While I was visiting with her, in those few short minutes while dad filled the car with gas, I glanced down at her hands and noticed they were almost translucent and into my mind came the thought, those look like the hands of an angel. I remember asking her where she was off to and she smiled her sweet smile and replied she was off to a party.  Little did I know at the time that the party was to be in Heaven with my brother, her parents, grandparents and friends that had passed on before her.  She passed away the very next day after many years of suffering from an extended illness. She truly had the hands of an angel here on Earth and is now an angel in Heaven.  Love you mom.
