Thank you!

We are exhausted… today was Mom’s funeral.   It was beautiful and so many people came to share in the day.   The support from friends and family has been overwhelming!  All of you are so amazing!
I am tired, so I am heading to bed…..I just wanted to share a quick poem a friend of mine wrote [...]

Safely Home…

God called his beautiful angel home early this morning. Mom passed away a little after 1 AM, surrounded by her husband, their three children and her sister.
Punky woke up a bit before 1 AM screaming for me and wanted to merely be held for quite awhile, and it turns out that was the time [...]

Monday…

Pardon me while I type…the tears are free flowing this evening.   It’s starting to sink in that Mom’s not going to be around much longer.   She is still hanging in there as I type tonight.   She is so unbelievably strong.
Hubby called me several times during the night.   I won’t go into the details of [...]

Sunday

This will be short as I must go pick up Punky and get him home and bathed…we’re trying to keep life as normal as possible for him right now.
Our time is definitely limited with her…so we’ve all been coming and going all day. Please keep us in your prayers. For a purely [...]

Saturday PM

God is gently and quietly calling her home this evening… she is slipping so quickly away from us, but we know this upcoming separation is only temporary…we will see her again.
It is so sad to watch her go through this, but tonight Peggy, the hospice nurse, was able to get her fairly comfortable.   Pastor [...]

Friday’s Update

Another day that I am at a loss for words on here…
We visited Mom tonight… and it was just so sad. She had some issues this morning and was given more morphine and such, so when we got to her tonight she was pretty tired and kept falling asleep. I know the [...]

THURSDAY update

Hi!
I headed into school today for 2 meetings I had.  It was nice to be back and fun to see everyone again….I just am not sure where the summer went!  
On one of my breaks, I called Mom to check in on her.  It made me so sad.  When I am there in [...]

Wednesday Night…

I am a bit tired, so this may be short. 
I spent most of the day over at the house again.   (Actually, I got there at noon and left at 8:30 PM)   Mom ate a little bit for breakfast and lunch…not too much.  I did some grocery shopping for them so there are [...]

Tuesday night…

I spent the day over at Mom and Dad’s house.   I got there a little after 9:30 this morning, and Mom had just finished taking a shower and getting dressed.   She was able to wash her hair, too, so then I combed her hair, dried it and curled it for her.  Then she brushed her [...]
