Something to think about

First, Mom was standing today with the therapist. Talk is already starting about discharge. Please pray that it works out so that she can just move right across the street to the rehab hospital when that time comes.

I was just perusing some previous postings of Mom's and came across something she posted on Jeff Bowman's blog:

Peace I leave with you...Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27

Mom lives this daily. I went with her into the hospital last Wednesday. I felt I had to. I was worried that I'd never be able to talk to her again, at least the way she was at that time. I know what its like to have a loved one wake up and be a completely different person.

Mom was not scared, or at least she didn't show it. Her conviction is what I hope for in the future. It's easy to say things, but not easy to live them. She lives them, everyday. Ronna and I talked about how we used to see our mom as a wimp, but now we see she's just the opposite.

I miss you Mom, and I can't wait until you're back with us like you were before, and maybe even better.
