It is well with my soul....

I said I wouldn't blog again....but you must know that if I am blogging I am okay.  We got the phone call yesterday to come home that it wouldn't be long...her breathing is sporadic mixed with apneas and then regular but shallow breathing that comes and goes.  It's odd...when one of the grandkids are in the room, she breathes much better.  Through the night, we stayed by her side..at one point in time, her sisters were all laying in bed with her sleeping just like the slept when they were growing up.  We spent the night remembering and sharing stories...watched the sun come up, saw a wild turkey and tons of birds. This afternoon has been spent by her bedside..working on the computer.  She is so peaceful. I keep thinking that one of these times I will look over and she won't be breathing...ah, to go that peaceful.  In the midst of all of this, however, my uncle who is down here with all of the family passed away unexpectedly.  He is my mom's sister's husband, Paul.  He was at grandma's house about a mile from here.  We are not letting mom know but arrangments for him are going on as we speak.  Life is short, quick and unpredictable so share your love with those around you, speak quickly but kindly.  In all honestly, if I walked in and didn't know what was going on...I would think she was just sleeping....  She has spent the last several days surrounded by those she loved most her family....her siblings have been a Godsend.  Every morning, Judy would come in after work and lay with her and sleep until the afternoon and then Della would come in the afternoon and they would trade places and Della would talk with her.  She looked so forward to them coming.  I know she loves us but she especially loves her family.  I hate to see her go...but know it would have killed her to see anything happen to her siblings.....she wouldn't have traded places for a minute.  It was hard so hard on her when they lost Dean.  Slaton knows more than I think he does.  He runs in and hugs her and says, I won't hurt her I just want to hug her...so she's getting slaton loves even now.  Thanks again for the prayers.
