Wanted to let you all know what’s going on in Mama’s world these days. Mama has completed her first round of chemo but has elected not to continue with that treatment because it has weakened her considerably. That was the final treatment option available to her, so the choice that has now been made is to let the disease run its course. In the meantime, we are trying to make sure Mama is as comfortable as is possible, and to embrace her with the warmth of our love as much as we can.

Mama is at peace with the decision she and Daddy have made; after all, she knows what will happen to her next, where she will go and Who she will be with once she dies.

Her body is quite weak and she is in quite a bit of pain, but her mind remains strong and her spirit seems, to me, to be considerably stronger and happier than I’ve seen in several weeks. She and Daddy celebrate the joy of life each day.

This weekend, my brother and I have brought our families down to love on Grandma. My brother has brought his new son to show off to Mama, so she has finally gotten to meet both of the new grandchildren. It’s a houseful this weekend, loud and raucous, but I like to think that even though it might be a little wearying for Mama with all this untamed ENERGY around, she’s enjoying all six grandkids and the life and joy that children bring to all of us.

If you would, keep Mama in your prayers. If nothing else, please pray that God will comfort her and ease her pain. Emotionally, I think she’s doing pretty OK. But physically, she has a good bit of pain, and I would appreciate your continued prayers for her, and particularly that her pain be relieved.

Mama doesn’t get to the computer much any more, so I don’t know that she will be able to reply to each of you, but she wanted me to share an update of her situation with you. If someone would please copy this post to ATRW for me, I’d be much obliged. If you would like to send Mama a card, please message me privately, and I will let you know how to get in touch with Mama via snail mail.

Love to all of you, from Mama and from me.
