She raised four children by herself.

And helped in raising her grandchildren too.

She was with us for the better part of 85 years.

Then she started leaving us, and finally left us at the age of 89.

Those last few years before she left, she wondered if we would still be okay after she left. We all assured her we would be.

The last few years were not great for her, not for us. But, we wanted her with us forever, no matter what condition she was in. She had other ideas, and left us in April of this year.

I still can’t believe she’s gone, but I believe that she’s still looking after us. Her mind is whole again.

I would just bet she is, adorno, and is joyfully in her prime. God bless your loving family.

Her mind is whole again.

When my mother breathed her last, my sister started wailing, but I just looked up and thought the same thing....."Mom, you're whole again, and now you're back with Dad"

Your post made me cry. Prayers for you.

I lost my dear mother in 2007, when she was several weeks shy of 95. She did not have Alzheimer’s, but, during the last 2 years of her life, many TIA’s took her memory of who her many children and grandchildren were.

She died peacefully at home, and all of us got to say good-bye to her. I know she is resting in the Lord, but I sure do miss her.
