Ham Pot Pie

I have many memories of Aldine but one shines through like no other. As a new housewife, my husband wanted Ham Pot Pie. I had gone to my Moms for some help. Her recipe, which was my grandmothers, was rather complicated and it had a lot of do's and don'ts. Aldine came to visit my Mom and saw my struggle. She had me write down her Mom's recipe which she knew by heart. Then on her way home she stopped in to make sure all was going well. Through her simple act of kindness and instruction a family tradition was established. Everytime I make and serve Ham Pot Pie I think of her, that is a gift no amount of money can by.

Another conversation comes to mind as she spoke of her Mother who had Alzheimers Disease. She prayed that she would never be consumed by that dreadful disease, but for whatever reason that was not God's plan for her life. I watched Don as he cared for her with great love as she slowly slipped into a state of confusion. We are unsure why God allows thing like this to happen, but remember the God who created this entire universe does not make mistakes. There is or has been a lesson for smeone. I take great hope that beautiful Aldine is walking, hand in hand, completely whole with Our Father, for all eternity.

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you: I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10
