We spent the weekend beginning Friday at our place at Fanning Springs. My sister, Yvonne and her husband, David, came down from Georgia. We had a meeting Friday at Ayers with a representative from Hospice. My brother, Marcus, and his wife, Sandi, also came to the meeting. My mother 's condition has deteriorated to the point she needs extra care. She is sleeping a lot, pulling up into the prenatal position. She's also not eating much and often refuses her medications. Yvonne and I knelt by her bed and released her on Sunday. We just let her know we didn't want to hold her back if she was ready to go. Her eyes were closed and I wonder if she really understood, but she did acknowledge me when I asked her if she understood. Mother has never expressed a desire to leave this world. She has always been a person that made the best out of whatever situation she found herself in. I think that's one reason she has been at Ayers for 9 1/2 years. She simply made the best of it and adjusted to the life she had there.
We have no way to know how long she will live, which goes without saying, I suppose. We just all hope and pray she can go quickly without becoming a bedridden patient. So, please pray with us that she will be able go soon.
That's about all my news except to say I'm enjoying my grands very much. Olivia was with us a couple of weeks and of course, I see Katie's children often.
Namaste,
Linda Gail
Love and prayers for your family.
