arrived in maine just before the humongous april snowstorm to be with my mom. she is on hospice care now and it's a watch and wait time. i feel privileged to care for her as my last final gift. miracles have happened in just a few days with loved ones reunited and estrangements melted away. have my return to MD ticket but not sure when i'll be leaving Maine. our strong faith is an ever present main mast but still heartbreaking and sadness beyond comprehension. God spoiled us four children by keeping her with us for just over 97 years...though we never took her for granted. as she continues her work of leaving, we cling to each other for strength. may God be merciful....
Had been wondering how things are going. Thanks for updating us. You are doing a tender work, helping your Mom transition back home. Praying for you to have the strength and comfort you need for this important time. Glad to hear the family is united! Love to you, my friend—my heart is truly with you! (This is Janet—my phone won’t let me sign in as me.)

ReplyDeleteMy Mom was in hospice this winter and her four children took turns at watch so she would not be alone. I understand how had it is to be at bedside.
