Dark Day

We got up late this morning (almost 6:00!). It was cloudy, and we don't turn on the generator on non-school mornings. I marveled at the quiet as I checked my email.

My first indication something was wrong was when I saw I had 2 voice mail messages. My brother had called, and Hospice predicts our mom has just a few days to live. We decided to go ahead with our Christmas plans and then see when/if we'll need to make funeral arrangements.

My mother has had dementia for several years, and she said about 6 years ago, "I'm ready to go to heaven. I'm just not ready to not see my (great grand)babies again.". I assured her it wouldn't be heaven if she couldn't enjoy her babies.

So, I am at peace with God's timing. Please pray for Mom's painless entry into heaven, for traveling mercies for our family, and patience and wisdom during this difficult family time.
