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

Mert, I love you. I am so proud of the young lady you are becoming. You have no idea how wonderful it was to read your blog. It's a blessing to read YOUR words. Many people will rejoice and will be blessed to hear your awsome maturity, wisdom, and peace. I love you so much, Aunt Brooke
Meredith,
This is Dottie--I'm Christopher and Bethany's Mimi. Thank you for your message on this site. We have been praying, along with all your friends, for you, Jacob, your mom and dad, and your entire family. I agree with your Aunt Brooke, it is such a blessing to hear from you, Meredith.
I'm so glad that Mrs. Justiss is going to be your nanny. Your mom can go home with peace in her heart that you and your family are "in good hands."
I love your mom and, like you, am very proud of her. She is truly an inspiration to everyone.
I love you, Meredith and am very proud of you. YOU are in my thoughts and prayers daily.
Love, Dottie

Dear Busby's,
I cannot find the words to say how I feel after reading your blog. Just that you have shown all of us what real faith looks like. Thank you.

Hey, Mert. Thank you for sharing your heart with us. Seeing your strength has helped us older folks in so many ways. I love you sweetpea!
Love Paige n Brad
I had no idea when your sweet Mommy shared her Cheese Wiz and crackers with me on the bus on the way to Montgomery, it would be the beginning of a rich and spiritual journey that your beautiful, awesome Mommy let ME be a part of. I love you so much and I pray I can always be a part of your life. You and Jacob have so many people who love you the way I do.
Today though I am filled with sorrow,I rejoice in your Mommy's healing. I know she is whole and well. She has NO MORE PAIN, and she is taking care of all the children in heaven who are not with their Mommies.
Right now your job is to love Aunt Dot, love Aunt Connie (and all the other folks you CALL 'aunt and uncle' who may or may not be REAL family). Give your Daddy lots of hugs and be patient with Jacob. Mostly Merideth, be eleven. I know your Mommy wants you all to laugh and rejoice in her healing. She also wants you to enjoy being a young girl. You mean more to me than you can know sweet girl.
I love you...........Ms Janie
P.S. I look forward to working on the butterfly garden, don't you?
