My Friend Clara-#80

In the summer of 2005 I felt impressed to ask a great friend of mine, Clara Larsen, if it would be OK if I came over and videotaped her life story. She had quite a childhood and because she was such a positive person she did not want to dwell on it and therefore had never told her children much about it. She first said "no" and then called back and said that she had prayed about it and that she would like me to come over. So for a few Sundays I went over with a list of questions and my video camera and recorded her answers. She sold her home, moved and became ill and we were not able to complete the list of questions. The tapes sat in a drawer and before long she had passed away. I miss her!! I told her family I would send the tapes to them but then life got crazy. Every once in awhile I would think about it but for the last few weeks it has really been something I felt I should do. I had the address to her son in AZ but that was it. I wasn't sure where I even had the address written down. I kept procrastinating. When I decided to clean my closets and drawers for the 90 day challenge, I found her funeral program with the address listed. I watched the tapes one last time and cried! I then quickly packaged them up and placed a phone call to her son to make sure he was still at this address. They were moving in three weeks and I am so fortunate that I was impressed to get this completed before they moved and I would no longer know where to send them. I hope they meant as much to her family as they did to me. One of her famous sayings that I never want to forget is, "You and the Lord are the majority in ANY situation". I love you Clara.
