Hey Everyone,
This week has had some fun times, but also some very stressful times. Mom has gone down hill very rapidly since Aunt Connie and Uncle Gary came,(NOT THAT THEY HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT)NO REALLY I MEAN IT! and the nurse feels that the time for Mom to go to her eternal home is very near.
I had a good talk with mom a couple nights ago, and got to tell her what I needed to, so now I have a real peace about her leaving. Jacob understands on his level, and we know he will be OK.
This morning Jacob came in the room yelling,"MOMMA, MOMMA CAN JOHN SPEND THE NIGHT TONIGHT," so my mom kind of groaned then Jacob said , " WAS THAT A YES?" Today when my dad told me that Mrs. Justiss, who is a dear friend of ours, and was the best teacher I've ever had, is going to be our nanny, I was so excited.
She is a wonderful person, and will be a tremendous help in our family, I know that for a fact. I do not say this just because she is fun, but because she has helped me through so many times. When I was in her class I will never forget the way she was like a second mother who adopted me and the rest of the class into her family.
Things are coming together in our family very quickly. I saw mom praying and I heard her ask God to take her home, she is ready , and if she is ready I'm ready ,I don't want her to be in pain and suffer. Please do not think I want her to die , because if I could change it I would in a heartbeat, but I hate seeing her this way and I want her to be in complete PEACE.
I believe she has done a fantastic job at doing all she can in her life. She has run her race and has crossed the finish line successfully. The important thing to remember is that she never gave up, which is the perfect way to live a life. We love you all and thank you so much for all the prayers.
LOVE,
MERIDETH
