My mom, Nellie Mae Waters Wheeler, would have been 101 today. She died much too young (on my birthday, January 9, 1972), just 7 weeks shy of her 58th birthday. As many of you know, she was badly crippled by debilitating rheumatoid arthritis for most of the last 25 years of her life. Though her physical body was confined within her crippled frame, her mind and spirit soared beyond the physical. She participated in life as much as she could. She had a cheerful demeanor and was interested in the lives of others. She set a high standard for living a Godly life.
