I'm glad you have the help of the good folks at hospice. Their presence, calm, kind helpfulness, and consideration helped us immeasurably thru my FIL's last months and it was all free which helped AMIL.<br /><br />The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face to shine upon you, be gracious unto you and give you peace.<br /><br />You, Mark, and all who love Mark are in our prayersBarbara Annenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5875685329759208622.post-61532105795713714432014-04-07T17:45:50.728-07:002014-04-07T17:45:50.728-07:00Too sad...I'm so sorry.

I, too, was present when the doctor told us to take my brother home because there was nothing more they could do. My poor brother didn't understand what was going on anymore, but he just sat there and smiled at us. I'll never forget his heartbreaking smile.<br /><br />You both know that God loves you and that He will be your strength through this.

Your spirit, shall I say your family&#...Mary Lou, <br />Your spirit, shall I say your family's spirit, has been a Light and I am grateful to be a part of your prayer circle. The only way to go through something like this is to know that you're not alone... you and Mark are not alone. As I go through this type of sadness and worry with a loved-one, I am reminded of the power of friendship. This theme just keeps popping up... so, I've been praying about it. I believe we are put on this earth with life energy that can effect each other in positive ways. Following our intuition and reaching out is the first step, so whether it's you deciding to share your recent journey with all of us, or us reaching back... life just got richer. Sending beautiful prayers your way for unexpected blessings.<br />LovLov, <br />JessicaJessicaSewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16957483329986279204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5875685329759208622.post-69781344044283267722014-04-05T19:28:57.006-07:002014-04-05T19:28:57.006-07:00I expected to read a little light blog and was ama...I expected to read a little light blog and was amazed at your honesty during this hard journey.

Cancer is evil. It takes those we love slowly and painfully. I am thankful you have a good support group and are spending the last days with your husband. You are making sweet memories. I know, I went thru it with my mom. But you have the extra burden of the bill paying. I pray for God to give you strength and the needed funds to see you thru. At this time I am unable to help out with money donation, but I will keep you and yours in my prayers.<br /><br />I took a class with you when you visited the Quilt Guild of Greater Houston. It was fun, bright and happy. I wish fun, bright and happy for you.
