Sunday
No change. Mom is holding her own. She is going to exit this world when she darn well feels like it. And that's my mother. Strong, beautiful, feisty. Yesterday was a busy day for her. Family and extended family (Gravel Lake friends) came over, brought food, and spent precious time with Mom. Steve and I spent the night with her in her room so Dad could sleep. Sis and Drfi had to go back to Chi-town to get clothes and Sis came right back . The snow was falling outside the bedroom window and covering the large pine trees. Snow tears.

Remember the winter cold we all gripe about so much? There's a life purpose behind it. Trees could never bloom blossoms and leaves if the winter winds did not shake and bend the boughs. The cold preserves. The warmth of Spring releases.
We all have our winter and spring experiences. Summer is memories of play. Autumn is thankfulness. And sometimes the sadness creeps in to keep life in perspective.
You know my personal situation as you have shared yours with those whom you call friend, friend. (smile).
Remember the seasons my sister. Gloria and God decide whether or not she outlives us all. Much love. Live in the right now as you do and are continuing to do. The future is none of our business.
That's the Almighty's job.
Take rest and keep writing, it's a blessing. And smile a lot in the snow tears as they gently fall.
You are beautiful as your mother. love, cyncyn

May this love renew your spirit as you take this intimate journey with your Mom.
Peace and love, Becky,Mike,Mar
Thank you so much for writing...YOU could , should write a book since you are so poetic and see the beauty of nature even in this sad situation...YOUr mom is doing her best to stay with you all so that when she does pass over , YOu will all know that she did it only as a MUST and not because she didn't want to stay...That is her testament of love to you all...
Please remember to include her in conversations and remind her that now is the time of passing into SOUL/SPIRIT life...If she talks to other family members that have already gone on...it is not her being delirious, She does see them and will be with them in the afterlife...
YOU are a good daughter and have always been a comfort to her through the years...So is Ann and your husbands too...
I am with you in spirit all this time...Doris
