So now we wait…

Mom is on her way home! And, praise be to God, she’s resting peacefully as she awaits her homegoing.

The last 8 days have been so sad and yet, so sweet. What started out as a possible tummy bug has caused mom to spiral downward and now we’re just waiting for Jesus to call her home.

No fluids, no food but this little lady is tough! Could be today or could be in a few and while I selfishly wish she would just snap out of this, my heart cannot wait for her to be whole again.

I’ve learned so much walking this Alzheimer’s journey with mom…
Hospice has been wonderful and so helpful.
I’ve learned what’s really important and how we can busy ourselves into oblivion and miss the most meaningful, significant parts of life.
I’m learning that we all grieve differently and that’s ok.
And, I’m learning to let others help me. I’m not one to ask for help! Typically, if I can’t do it or figure it out, I’ll just not worry about it. But, God is showing me that he never created us to be independent!
And, sacrifice isn’t always easy but it’s what love requires of us!

“He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away” Revelation 21:4

Grief is strange and beautiful all at the same time…

I will miss her!

Have you ever thought…

Our lives are just like the four seasons?

I don’t know about you but I’ll take spring all day every day! But, I’m not sure I’d appreciate it as much as I do if it weren’t for the other seasons!

Life is like that…

Have you ever thought about the idea that our lives are like the seasons?

I don’t know about you but I’ll take spring all day every day! But, without all the other seasons, I’m not sure I’d love spring as much as I do!

Life is much the same…

Happy Monday
