Life has stretched us this past week and Love has trumped the schedule.
A sweet mother-in-law has needed her family and we have spent the days talking low and hugging long...
Lung cancer and the ensuing treatments have left her body weak and her heart failing. And yet, she smiles... mostly listening to the family visit and share and laugh around her bed. She closes her eyes and smiles...
It is the Blessing of a Life Well Lived... surrounded by love.
Schedules and Work and Appointments have faded this week past as we have set aside time to soak in the moments with her knowing how quickly they dwindle.
So... a little grace for the posts not yet written. We will continue this 31 Day Journey in the days to come.
Tomorrow morning we somehow say Good-bye, and hug her frail frame and dry the eyes that fill with tears and begin the long trip home...
Prayers for Grace are whispered this night.
