Mom hasn't shown much movement or communication in the last 12+ hours. At 7:00 this morning, she said "thank you, baby" to Aunt Janette as she repositioned her on the bed. I know I speak for my two aunts and myself when I say those are the moments we will hold on to...
I don't know what I would've done without my aunts during this time. They have been so helpful and supportive... They daily show Christ's love in sacrificing of their time and energy to help mom. I know they will receive many jewels in their crowns for their loving service.
It may sound morbid, but I spent time working on mom's obituary today. I hate throwing things together at the last minute, so I thought I'd get a jump start on it. It was easier than I expected until I started writing about mom's love for her family. I have been so blessed to have grown up being related to such amazing people.
The Hospice nurse came this morning. Mom's blood pressure was 80/60. Every time I walk into her room, I first check to see if she is still breathing. This isn't a fun place to be, but I know that eventually mom will slip into eternity and all of her suffering and exhaustion will be over... for that, I am thankful...

Love you Anita. God's timing is always perfect. His eye is on the sparrow and I know He's watching . . . . . and waiting for just the right time - when everyone and everything is ready.
