It can not be today as it is overcast with no sunshine. She should be taken on a beautiful day because she is a beautiful person. There were plenty of times I as her child did not think she was beautiful, like when she was riding me about something, or punishing me or whatever. But then you grow up lol Why does it take until later in life to appreciate your mom totally? Maybe it is because you have to go "thru" all the other stuff to get to that point.
As for moms status today we are seeing the time draw closer. She is a little less responsive today than yesterday, but this is expected during this process.
I was just thinking why I am sad and it is not because of me its because of her. I am sad that this has all gone down this way. I am sad for all the poking, proding, surgeries, tests, scans and chemo she had to go thru. I am sad we did not get to do so many of things she said she wanted to do, when she was diagnosed back in May. I am that she has to leave a great man, my dad, who loves her so much. I have seen this gentle sweet side to him I never saw before. The only sadness I have right now for myself really is that she will not be here to see Paige graduate from high school.
Mom I guess you are right you are the QUEEN.....the QUEEN of my HEART and so many others!
Praying for all of you today. I look at the picture of her eating ice cream and I cannot believe how fast this has happened. BUT, I thank God that she is surrounded by all of you. I break down crying every time I think of you (Ang), Alan, Paige and your dad lying beside her on the bed and how wonderful you all are treating her. When I saw how gentle and kind Alan was it made me say my own silent prayer, "Lord, please make my boys grow up to be like that." You are all God's hands extended. I love you all and am praying constantly!
