Adjusting to life without Mom

Our last posted prayer request asked for prayer as my mother was pretty sick. She had melanoma cancer. We flew to FL to be with everyone as she was admitted to ICU. Well she was in ICU for 9 days, when she was transferred to a wonderful hospice facilty in Largo where she received wonderful care for the last 15 days of her life. She went home to be with the Lord on May 11. We had a wonderful service for her May 15. Shirley and I stayed with Dad for an extra week to do whatever we could to help. He seems to be doing ok since then, but you can imagine the tough time it is to adjust to not having your partner of 58 years around. Your prayers for Don are greatly appreciated. As far as the rest of us (my brother and sister and me and our spouses), we are doing ok too. We had time with Mom and were able to say everything I think we wanted to say before she left. We talk more now than we used to which is a good thing. Our conversations are more God centered  too which is another very good thing…Thank You Lord!

Thank you for your prayers for us as we traveled this tough path together. We cherish the Body of Christ and thank God for the way she reached out to our family throughout the past month. May you know how much we appreciate you.
