A Divine Appointment For My Dad--Part of My Burton Legacy

This photo of my mom and dad is probably from the time frame of this letter.

Below is an old letter from my mother that I came across while scanning some things. If you click on it, it will enlarge for easier reading. Michael and I were touched by the story of a divine encounter and my mother's joy over it. I'm not sure of the exact date, but it was probably mid to late 1970's.

As I scanned old letters this last month, I've thought a lot about the messages we leave behind for our children...the way words continue to touch lives even when we are gone. Both my mother and father have passed away, but their legacy lives on through the lives of those they've touched and through their written words.
