My Mom

My Mom is fading quickly. The Hospice nurse came today and said that the end is coming soon, likely in the next 24 hours. I am very sad, but I have this joy in me from what I've experienced with my Mom and the rest of my family this week. It's a weird contradiction. I have things locked in my heart from this week that will be with me forever.

I sat by my Mom's bed this morning reading her some of her favorite Psalms. She's not responsive to us any more, but when I stopped reading, she lifted an eyebrow to tell me to keep going. She's radiating such a beauty even though the cancer tried to take it from her. I am sad.
