. . . oh but how I miss my sweet Mam already. Saying goodbye was so hard, I wish I was still there with her. Here's a picture I took on my phone just a couple of days after I got there.
Mam is smiling on this one, but there were days she just didn't have the energy to do even that. She's getting better, but at a very slow pace. Thank you all for your prayers, and for the lovely cards you sent. I will continue to keep you all updated on her recovery. We still don't know when she will be released from the hospital, but as it stands right now we don't want them to send her home too soon. And once they do send her home, we aren't sure what kind of help/care she can get from Social Services. Prior to the pacemaker replacement op (which set off this whole turn of events) Mam was very independent and could do everything for herself, now she can't be left alone for a minute - certainly not until she gets her strength back. It's so very sad to see.I'm taking it easy this weekend, it's weird but I almost feel like I've been sick with the flu or something the way I feel so tired. I went to bed at 8pm last night and woke up at 5.30am. I got up but by 11am I was already feeling tired again! Thankfully I don't feel too bad now, but I'm sure I'll be having another early night tonight, and will then have to get up at 6am for school tomorrow which shouldn't be too hard to do (I hope). I'll be trying my best to get back on course this week and get life back to normal for Kristen and Jason too.

Welcome home, Denise. Take care of yourself and get some much needed rest. The emotion of all this has to be draining.

Emotional storms we go through always wear us out more than a hard day's work. Take time to re-group~you have my permission!
Blessings~
I am praying for your Momma~

What a sweet picture. She is smiling from ear to ear! Glad that you are home and I know that Kristen was so glad to see you. Have a good nights sleep. Talk soon.
Bless your heart - I love you friend. I'm praying your Mam will continue to recover with no further setbacks. I sure am glad your sister is able to be with her. It eases the difficult circumstances of you being so far apart. She is loved! She feels your love with her every day!
Take care of yourself!
Love and hugs,
Lynn

Last night I couldn't fall asleep easily so I began to pray. When I got to the point of speaking to the Lord about others, you came to my mind first. I wanted you to know you are being lifted to God's throne of help and mercy, comfort and healing.. you and your sweet precious Mam. Seeing that picture of you three girls, faces filled with love for one another.. it just touched my heart so deeply. My mother was so beloved to us kids and she was only 51 when she died of cancer. I know dear one, how it hurts to see a beloved mother suffering. You will be on my mind and heart and often in my prayers.
Have a good day and I hope the news from back home continues to be encouraging.
Love and Hugs,
Lynn
