Back Home

In my last post I asked for your prayers for my mother in-law who was in the hospital and for us as we tried to stay by her side. This post is to thank you for those prayers. On February 25 she went on to her forever home. After all that time of traveling back and forth to the hospital, we found ourselves busy with funeral arrangements. Now we are back to our home. But things don't feel settled yet. It will take some time to get used to her not being here, needing us to pay her bills, take her to a doctor appointment or to get her hair done. We're glad that she is no longer suffering. On the day of her funeral the sun came out and the sky was a pretty blue. The warmth of the sunshine had the birds singing and a promise of spring was in the air. It was the kind of day she would have loved, sitting out on her patio and calling me to talk about our garden plans. I'm holding on to that promise of spring!
