This is about the group guide my husband and I went to India with the only time I've been there in 1995. Its good to hear how she is doing now , just sharing the news

Dear Sai Family,

 

"Big Mama", as Jega calls her, or Mother Dr. Wilma Bronkey is a much

smaller Big Mama than she used to be, weighing in at about 101 lbs.

She's still a heavyweight when it comes to listening to Swami, though.

 

Smaller Big Mama had an adventure in mid-February, when the Sai

sisters were gathered in Grants Pass for our monthly meeting, seva,

and instruction from her. Swami stopped the meeting and started

talking to her. She told us all to be quiet so she could listen.

Swami then told her Preeti needed help, and He wanted her to go to

see Preeti and Andy (Ashok) Khemlani in Portland. Mother quickly

gathered all the Sisters to drive up with her, a five hour drive in

three cars. She helped Preeti and Andy, and met with and blessed

quite a number of visitors and gave an impromptu talk directed to the

young people.

 

All this was almost too much for her, since she hasn't travelled much

since her heart attack last August. She got off schedule with her

medications, got sick and needed to stay some extra days in Portland.

It took a few weeks for her to regain her appetite, and it is close

to back to normal now.

 

Just over a week ago, she got a notion to bake an apple pie from

scratch. Her arm got too tired to finish cutting the shortening into

the dough, and she had to rest overnight, then in the morning her son

Russ helped her finish it, and he sliced all the apples. "It felt

very good to be able to do something like what I used to do. I got

real happy about it, and I did all the spices and flavorings and

everything myself. That was fun. I enjoyed that. There's so little I

can do anymore, it just felt good to do it."

 

She continued with an update on Ivan: "Ivan's hip is still bothering

him, but there's nothing we have found that can help him at all,

except for sitting in his chair. When he sits on the edge of the bed

or takes his shoes off, it hurts. It depends on the position he's in,

or what he's doing."

 

So, if you feel like sending prayers and blessings to both of them,

it would be wonderful. Someone recently brought some special water

that Swami had blessed, and they are both doing better. Many people

have marveled who visited her recently, that she is still teaching

us, by her example at 90 years old, to listen to Swami and follow Him

in everything we do.

 

Mother Wilma is looking forward to the 2009 Sai Family Reunion, and

hopes to see all of you there. She is letting the Sai Sisters take on

more of the tasks of getting ready for it, so she doesn't have to do

so much herself. Notices will be emailed and mailed pretty soon. If

you would like a paper invitation, please respond to this email, and

send your mailing address. Otherwise, you will just get an email

notice. If you know of others who would like to be on our email or

snail mail lists, or if you would like your name removed, please let

me know.

 

Love and Sai Ram,
