My Last Words
Who chooses my eternity in heaven with you God, You or me?
It is impossible to anticipate His eternal plan and not be fearful of leaving my family,
I feel my time with them is so incomplete.
No one has reached into my soul and assured me
I keep saying I will know and will feel the Peace-the Plan.
I am waiting, I am waiting..
Is the greatest gift really patience?
There is no losing when you know that God has you forever
He has taught me so much in my walk on earth and now how dare I not embrace the journey, no matter the length or the depth?
Trust my child, you must!!!
My body is deteriorating and it frightens me so
But I will be whole in His presence, He promises me so..
I lay the toughest thoughts I have ever imagined at His graceful feet,
Believing He will smile me through and through with the divine answers
He has in His hands.
I lift my enormous love for Mike, Dane and Lyndee to envelope me as only family love can.
I so never knew I could love people this much. May they know, so it becomes a part of them.

Hello Friends
I had a GOOD night's sleep last night which is indescribable when you live on a rollercoaster of physical and mental unknowns and try this, try thats... Kind of the first time I have been able to sit up at the computer in a very long time.
Mike's Mom, sister and sis-in law are here filling up my love tank and helping Mike deal with a bum tooth. I feel God pulling our little family tapestry weaving beautifully together! Mark has a rare day off and it is cooled down into the 80's, so he and Mark are going to play a round of golf. I am not even jealous. He deserves it! I am proud to say I love him more everyday. What a compassionate, caring nurse he is (I guess whether he wants to or not).
I feel blessed, loved and under the Divivne leading of God.... nice, secure, thankful for some would think might be curled up in a ball of self pity. I send my encouragement and love over the mountains, across the deserts, ziz-zagging through the stars and cactus directly from my heart to YOURS.
