I was up early and it was pouring... I never knew what would await me...
Each morning when I go in, I think... Mom is fine... and that was my thought this morning... but she was not.
Alan had left for work early as this is ICEE Week and we had prayed before he took off...
I immediately called Isaiah. He called his office.
Mom was gone...
The clock had stopped at 3:33... and when I had looked before opening the door to her bedroom, I thought that was so weird. Didn't I just put a new battery in?
Mom was not breathing... she was still warm... she wasn't stiff yet... I called my siblings...
The next six hours are a blur...
She is gone...
I am processing... I could have gone out for a run... it was my favorite weather... but I didn't want to... I ate, but my stomach is upset... I have not gone into her room. I have not removed or done anything... I finished my talk for this Sunday... My mind is swimming... so many emotions... And yes, there are regrets...

Seek Him First!
oh my dearest sister, have no regrets, you did so so well by her and by God!!!
ReplyDeleteYes Lovely. We always think we have more time. And if you had known she would die that day, you probably would have spent the day differently, but you did not know. You cared for her under very difficult circumstances and gave her a life in your home. If your mom could talk, she would tell you not to regret. She would say thank you. She is free.
ReplyDeleteI so appreciate your comment!
DeleteCan't imagine how tough it was for you... It was definitely God's timing. I'm sure...
ReplyDeleteLovely you did very good taking care of your mother, now she is resting in God's hands.
ReplyDeleteand dancing with Dad in a new body!!
