My husband's mom is passing...

It has been a difficult week here. We've had a horrible stomach bug for days now. All of us have been ill. Jess never threw up or anything but has felt puny and has had to take care of the rest of us! Dan had to stay home from work yesterday and still felt puny today. Melody was quite ill, but felt more normal tonight and aaron is very ill. I got it first and still have it. Lord willing I'll be better tomorrow.

Because of this tummy bug I was unable to go with Dan tonight when his Dad called. Dad thinks Mom will be passing on tonight... just a matter of hours left. I am so sad that I couldn't go... words just cannot express. I knew that when we saw her on Saturday it would be my last time, but it doesn't make me feel much less sad and alone tonight.

I was thinking about it -- I had my mom with me until I was about 24 years old. I've known Dan's mom just about the same amount of time. Just 2 years less, about. My mom was 67 when she passed on. Dan's mom is 65. The level of PEACE that surrounded her is unbeliveable though -- so different from my own parents' passing. That is because this was a woman who unreservedly spent her life for the Gospel, and it showed. We will miss her greatly.
