Hands holding us as we pray, hands that rub my tense shoulders, hands to wipe the tears away, hands that hold me as my eyes adjust to daylight, hands that mix the special ingredient in the 20 pounds of Thanksgiving potatoes, hands that hold me a little longer as we cry, hands that skillfully turn the wheel of a Big Rig completing the boys bucket list, hands that shared a cup of coffee and early morning girl time, hands that washed our windows and curtains, scrubbed our ceiling fans, washed our dishes, moved our furniture and cleaned our walls, hands that shared warm Stroopies and Ice cream on a cold blustery day, a Doctors skillful hands that are also hands of a friend, hands that offered their vehicle to use since ours are sold, hands that organized and made our drop-in extra special, hands that send an encouraging word and stop by for a brief visit, loving hands that tremble with age, newborn hands that grip my finger as we celebrate her birth, all the hands that extracted a tooth, hands that prepared delicious meals for us, hands that touch up our paint, hands that hug the boys a bit longer than they desire, hands that skillfully instruct the boys in gun safety, hands that capture the memories behind the camera, … “Mom, why are you crying?” … “I’m thinking about all the hands that hug me as we say good bye."
