Shelley dear, I don't know what to say, only to say that I'm here praying for you and for your Aunt. It is just so so difficult when someone we love is near the end of their journey and there's nothing we can do to help them. I recall when I visited my own father for his 87th birthday. At that point & time, he was already on oxygen battling prostate cancer that had turned to bone cancer throughout his entire body. I knew when I hugged him and we headed 425 miles to our own home...it would be the last I'd see him alive. I bawled most of the 6 hr drive home. The thing that we often forget at times like this is...if these family members are Christians, we know that they will be shining angels in the presence of God, and that we will someday be reunited with all of them.
Prayers for you Shelley,


Marilyn
