Topic: The end is drawing near

Seems as if Mom mustered all her strength to make it on the family cruise.  Over the course of the 9 day cruise, her strength started to diminish.  We had a good time, but it was a lot of work for my sister, brother and I

Re: The end is drawing near

Kimmie your post really touched my heart. I find it amazing what we can do when we want to, all of us. This journey now is being taken with such thought, care and love that your Mom is probably thinking how lucky she is to have the family she has. I am so glad you had a good cruise and made many beautiful Memories. We wish for you all that this Peacefulness prevails.

My heart goes out to you and your family.  This is such a bittersweet time but oh so precious. 

My prayers, love and hugs are coming your way.

My Mom lost her one year battle with CC on April 3, 2009.

"A prognosis is simply an audit of how truly precious each day is.  Live each day to the maximum, celebrate what was, and what is - Don't spend your life looking forward to what will or might be." .... words of wisdom from my beloved son on hearing of his grandmother's CC prognosis.
