Our host is Gattina. Come join us and tell us what YOU did this past weekend! After all, you never know when you will need an alibi!
***************
This weekend was the time that I went down and saw my Mom, for what will be the last time in this world. She is very close to death now, and as various members of the family have come to see her and share the love. It’s all she wanted in the end. To see her great grandchildren, grandchildren and daughters one more time. To feel that the karma was all right with us. To grab one last memory before she goes.
She told my sister on Sunday that she is ready now. Her body is painfully full of cancer, and she can no longer move. She is ready to go to the next level.
I catch my breath. A sob is just suck in my throat. As much as I want her released from the pain, I just cannot imagine her not being a phone call away.
After all these years arguing with her, and making up and trying again, now she will die and there will be no tomorrows.
She is the last of her generation. The others have gone. My wish for her now is peace. Peace and to be free from the pain of this terrible thing called cancer.
Now we must wait. She must wait. I hope that God is merciful and brings her peacefully home.
I am so sorry Maribeth, this must be so hard.
I hope she will go peacfully and without fear.
Sending hugs over to you.
I understand how difficult this time is for you. I just wish I was able to be there with you. Hopefully Hospice is keeping her free of pain and that her passing will be gentle and peaceful. Hugs and love.
Godspeed to your mom and peace to all of you. xxoo
I love how you cropped this picture. It is so lovely and she was so happy! Love YOU, Mel
Wonderful picture of your Mom! I keep crossed my fingers for she has not to suffer and can go in peace.
Love Uschi
I only wish that she could go and leave the pain of these last weeks behind her !
