I really never thought it would come down to having to day goodbye to her, but I am afraid that is where we are. She is a very strong woman, and she has said the whole time through the treatment that she was going to be fine. So I never EVER gave it a thought to her leaving us. Now all of a sudden in the last week it has gone down hill fast, and I have to face the facts.
I went and spent most of the afternoon and evening with her and my Dad. My Dad and I went to dinner, and had a long talk about the will God has for her. He said "God is not in the business of healing the flesh, but to heal souls, and her soul was healed many many years ago." For whatever reason a peace came over me at that moment. I know that my mother is a believer, and she will be in a better place.
There is a chance with the treatment they do tomorrow, things will turn around, so I am going to pray for that. They just cannot figure out why her body is not responding.
Give your family a little extra hug and realize they could be called home at any time.
I heard this song tonight on the way home and it touched me.
