83 Years of Life Lessons by Val Tillack

My mom shares her life story, using some prompts from my "Create Your Life Story" workbook. She describes her life as a voice of warning. I describe it as love, compassion, heartbreak, and peaceful, faithful endurance! She is our example, and the one any of us turn to when we need motherly anything; parenting advice, validation, compassion, hugs, or a warm, delicious Sunday meal.
