Mama

My Mama passed away two weeks ago, Thursday, September 24, at 8:55 p.m. She'd had a hard, hard time the last month of her life. She was at a hospice facility becasue we couldn't take care of her at home anymore. Sometimes she was in her right mind and sometimes she wasn't. She slipped into a colma the week before she died, but came back out of it. That weekend she was awake, and her mind was clear. She wanted to see everyone and say good bye to them. I am so thankful that we had those few days to be able to talk to her one more time. Tuesday, she began to get a little worse, and Thursday morning she slipped into another colma. This time, when she woke up, she was in Heaven.

This has been a hard journey for our family, and a difficult time for me, but we are all glad to know she isn't suffering anymore. We have a lot of adjustments and difficult days ahead, and we will miss her for the rest of our lives, but I know that I will see my mama again one day. These photos are from our beach trip back in June, one of the last times she was really able to get out and enjoy herself.

And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.
He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." Revelation 21:3-4
