Hi. After a long time away I have decided to get blogging. I have only posted a few times but like the idea of talking about life...sometimes. :-)
One month ago my precious Mama went to Heaven. She so looked forward to the day that she would see Jesus. Always telling us girls and our children to "Look to Jesus". Oh, how I miss her so much...the ache within me is awful! I want to talk to her..I want her to talk to me..she was an angel on earth. I must keep reminding myself that she isn't suffering anymore and she is spending this Christmas with JESUS. There's joy in that.
What could anyone want more then that?!
Since finding out at the end of August 2010 that Mama had brain cancer, I am forever changed. We tried everything we could to help her win the battle with her "train boomer"...that's what she called it...she didn't like the sound of brain tumor. She was ready to meet Jesus, but she wasn't ready to leave Daddy and her girls and grandchildren...but God had this in the plan....I am still trying to figure that one out! We took her to NC to Duke University Hospital for her brain biopsy to see what kind of tumor she had. Mama hemmoraged in her brain following the surgery, causing the Doctor to go in and do a craniotomy to stop the bleeding and take some of the tumor. She still was bleeding after that surgery which then they had to go in a 3rd time.
I do not know how Mama was able to survive this. She was such a trooper..so strong..and ready to hang on as long as she could. When she came out of the surgeries...she was not able to ever speak to us again. We heard simple little grunts and had lots of squeezes, although they weren't always consistent in answering questions. She was trapped in her body for 8 weeks, while this nasty malignant glioblastoma took her...with no way to move or speak. We did everything we could for Mama..to help her get better..we prayed ALOT for a miracle...but God wanted her home with Him...
and that's ok.
I love you Mama..and I miss you so!!
"I hear ya"
