I Hope That Tomorrow . . .
At
8:23 AM
I’m looking at the face of my clock
And thinking . . .
“I was born at this very minute
75 years ago.
I was just emerging from my mother’s womb –
Like a seed that just sprouted out of the earth into my
First Day
Of
Life.”
And now . . .
How things have changed –
My mom was 21 years and 9 months old on that morning in mid-November.
She had been married to my dad for only 3 years and almost 5 months.
She and Dad already had a daughter –
My older sister, Lesley.
Lesley was 1 year and 8 months and 4 days old.
She was already walking and talking.
Now in 2026
My mom has been departed for 8 years and 3 months.
She was 88 years old
I was 66 at that time.
Right now –
It is November 13th at 8:40 PM.
Remember my mother telling me that she saw the moon between the clouds in the night sky as she got into a car to go to the hospital the night before I was born.

My parents got married at St. Ann’s Convent
On
June 19th, 1948.
That date is now a holiday – Juneteenth – also called:
Freedom Day
On the last day of 1992 I moved into that same building –
Which had become Sadwin Apartments –
183 Elm Street.
Lived there for 15 years –
In
Apartment 305 –
A one-room apartment
On
The top floor [center] facing
Elm Street
And
Robinson Street
Trying to think of a beautiful song . . .
My mother’s and grandmother’s and older sister’s and Eileen’s middle name is Ann.
Tomorrow – Annie – Andrea McArdle – 1977
Tomorrow – Annie – Andrea McArdle – 1977

My dad’s license plate was: RR-277

My hope is that –
Even though God has cursed the world –
Ever since Adam and Eve disobeyed Him in
The Garden of Eden —
We may nevertheless get through this cursed world and our cursed lives –
Afflicted by the sinful nature we inherited from Adam and Eve —
By God’s Grace
Through faith in his Son Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior and Redeemer and Good Shepherd —
With
The help of The Helper – His Holy Spirit —
The Spirit of the Lord
In
Our hearts –
Whom Jesus sends into our hearts that truly believe in Him —
If
We truly believe
The Gospel of Jesus Christ
And
Do what is written in the gospel as best we can —
And
Endure
Unto the very end.
And it is a real spiritual battle
For
Us to endure unto the end –
“But the one who endures to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” -Jesus [Matthew 24: 13-14 ESV Study Bible.

I’m looking at my clock at 8:08 AM —
My mother said the day she gave birth to me was an overcast day.
This morning it is sunny with clouds and blue sky
God bless you, Mom
Thank you for all you did in my life
And thank you Dad for all you did in my life
I love you both
Amen
