[21twelve]

Thanks Kathy. My mom would appreciate your song much more than mine! She has a strong faith, lived a good (and long and healthy life) and passed her faith on. I was able to visit her with my kids and wife last week and she was in good spirits.

It was odd though to be talking about hospice with her and the nurse as she sat in her chair in her home, knitting and chatting. And sharp as a tack going through old photo albums “that was in 1928 when my mom went back to Europe, the first time she had been back home since she came to America by herself at the age of 19 in 1896”. (I think I remembered those numbers right!)

I’m thankful that my wife decided to stay behind as her primary care-giver. She is a very caring soul, and just what my mom needed. Tonight my mom told my wife “I’ve had a good life - God can take me home anytime, and don’t be sad”.

Thank you for your prayers.

Sorry to take this thread off track.

I’ll now return you to another song, which I read a portion of at my sister’s funeral. Although the “Deathbed” song was more fitting for her life mixed with love and tragedy, out of one of those tragedies she came to know/remember that God is a God of Love and Mercy. She didn’t know much about theology, but she kept saying that “whatever happens, God is watching over me.”

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!
