About this ebook
It's been said that values are caught more than taught. When Polly Shivers was diagnosed with cancer in 2006, she quietly maintained, "Well, we're supposed to bloom where we are planted." Mama's words matched her actions. She knew that her six children would repeat what she did more than what she said. An orphan, adopted into her forever family as a toddler, Mama's life permeated gratefulness. Mama knew what loneliness felt like, and she invested in the lives of others, reaping great benefits. Snapshots of twelve of the many lessons learned from my Mama are encapsulated here, along with journal entries from both Mama and the author, Joan Walker Page, number five. Be inspired as you read the priceless pieces of this family's life, lovingly put together.
