Being home






The last week I have been caring for my precious mother. It has been a joy to serve her. There is nothing left of her body but bones and a very strong spirit. On one day my dad and I wept as she lay incoherent on the couch. We thought she would never become fully conscious again. But there is no one like my mother! That night as Joshua came and sat down beside her and said "Grandma It's Joshua I'm here, I love you." My mother opened her eyes. The two hugged and mom continued to pat Joshua's arm with tender love.
Aaron and Annie, Chris and Alana all visited. The next day my mom decided it wasn't time to go. When I went to check on her she was
awake and alert. She smile and said you are a gem. Then she said actually you
are my Precious Gem! My mom never complains. She is faithful and valiant in every moment. She continues to give to us. When it is our time to give.

I have flown back to California. I was expecting to have a funeral. But not today (momma said!)
