tanglediver Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I would appreciate your prayer for my ma. She is 85 and she has all but given up on this life. Pa went on ahead 5 years ago at 86, and I think she just wanted to catch up with his final age, her birthday will be next month. Thanks!

Glenn Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Tell her to hang in there as you still need her advise from her years of wisdom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnut Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Maybe she knows something we do not. A full life and peaceful passage is more than most can hope for. Spend as much time with her and honor her in YOUR way and remember you have the chance to do it while she's still with you. Maybe do or bring her some of her favorite things and spend a day with her and tell her why you love her but more importantly just spend time with her. I lost my mother suddenly to the flu two winters ago and it still hurts. If I think about it too hard it can still bring the tears to my eyes like it just happened a week ago. There were a lot of things I wish I could have talked with her about so take the opportunity she is giving you and look at this time as a gift from her. You and your family will be in my thoughts Pnut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I"m with you Bro. I got a call from my little Sister that I needed to fly down and help with Mother. The help she needed was deciding about life support. Life isn't easy, I'll say some words with higher for your Mother, you and family. Be well Brother, we're with you. Frosty The Lucky.

Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Ringing the anvil in the garden, to ask for comfort for both of you. One thing I wish I could have done with my Mom was to sit with her and make recordings of our family history that only she knew. Unfortunately we were separated by 1900 miles and she would not move to be closer to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyGoatLady Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Prayers for ýou and your ma. My mother is 82 and has been in bad health for over a year. I thought she'd give up, but she's still going right along. Hang in there and make she sure all the time she knows you love her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanglediver Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 Thank you all very much, I certainly welcome it! My niece and her girls are visiting with her as I type. We are getting a visiting nurse arranged. Ma is still alert and talking fine today. Rest assured, I spend all the time I can with her.
