I'll catch up with her in heaven where I'm sure there will be dances with "yee-haws" in them. (I can't picture Jesus waltzing. But I'm sure he would do a do-so-do.)<br /><br />Bless you for sharing this.

(As you do too, dear Elizabeth.)<br /><br />Her light will shine brightly in eternity, complete with boots and a big yee-haw as she dances with the God that loved her into being, and then called her home too soon.

So I was quite thrilled to have met her last August on typically sweltering day in Alabama for the Jonathan Myrick Daniels pilgrimage. When I approached her in the courthouse to introduce myself, she welcomed me with such warmth and excitement that I felt my heart jump for joy because to this pioneer woman I was a "somebody." Her love was genuine and totally Texan (my own beloved is part-Texan and part-French, so I know true Texas grit). In our short time sitting there with one another and talking, I basked in what a journey that weekend had been for her individually and also for Judy (who was being interviewed by every reporter at the event). So many roads traveled, so much pain endured, and all in the name of justice and love. I wished I'd had a chance to visit and talk with her again. Instead, I will live with the peace that I had a face-to-face encounter with Lauren, and she was as amazing and wonderful as I could have ever imagined. May she rest in peace and rise in glory and save me some of that Texas BBQ when it is my time to sit down at that endlessly joyous banquet table.
