Looks like things are going quickly. The hospice doctor says that she has 2-3 weeks although it looks like it will be sooner than that. She is singing Face to face with Christ my Saviour in her mind and saying it is louder. When she sleeps she has a sweet smile on her face and looks like she is directing a song like my Dad did. She has very few lucid moments. I am afraid to go home tonight.

Awwwwww, Doydie.. That's the way it happened with my Mom. She went into Hospice for pain management and as soon as she was relaxed and out of pain, she traveled closer to heaven. The Doc gave her weeks, then days. She was ready to go.

I know she will go peacefully where she is and with you there. My Mom waited till I had to leave to run an errand. She didn.t want us there, I guess. She was already in God's hands.

God Bless You..

Doydie

It's hard time no matter what, but it sounds like your Mom knows where she's going...that is a blessing you will treasure. Prayers to you.

Here I am at 6:30 AM. I think the last time I was up this early was when we took the family to Disney World. I slept pretty good. i convinced Mom to let them put a catheter in. Now she won't have get out of bed for anything unless she just wants to. The doctor comes in in about 30 minutes.

heavy days indeed. You are very brave, and need much courage. Be strong, and stand tall. We are all here waiting if and when you need us. You have a whole room full of folks that are whispering prayers in your name. Let us loan you some courage.

I'll take that loan. Today is my birthday and I have about 30 heartfelt messages from people out there in cyber land that I wouldn't recognize if I saw them. My Mom, sister and I had a long standing tradition of always going out to the same restruant, having a nice meal within our budget and topping it off with coconut pie. We were able to have Moms in her nursing home room. I had told Mom earlier this week to conjour up the memory of the meringue in her mind and give me a big kiss with it. I cold care less for the filling, I just LOVE the meringue. I guess I'm going to have to conjure it up and give it to her. My youngest daughter has given me a sweet present but I doubt anyone else will remember it. This daughter would remember it because we had to bury her Grandpa on her 18th birthday. So she has a very tender heart for me right now

Happy Birthday, Doydie. I know you probably don't feel like celebrating......but maybe if you just thanked your Mom for giving you the gift of life that would bring a smile to her face. My Mom used to tell me she didn't understand why Mom's weren't included in the celebrating on someone's birthday. If it weren't for them there'd be no celebration.

If I could have a coconut meringue pie delivered right to you I would.

This will have to do......

that must be that mile high pie I have heard of. Looks good. I will tell her thank you and hopes she hears.

Doydie - Many hugs to you. Keeping you all in my prayers.
