Preparations...

The girls & I had to run up to the shop this evening (Scott needed me to sign some business papers) so we checked, and Mom was feeling up to a visit. She looked really good despite how she's feeling. She seemed a little perkier than she was yesterday, and a rosiness in her cheeks. Her hair was freshly washed so it was soft & feathery... reminds me of angel's wings. We didn't stay long as we still had an hour drive ahead of us back home, and with the weather changing we didn't want to push it. She was tired, too, and we didn't want to prevent her from getting some rest. And, her youngest sister, Linda, was going to be coming over about an hour later to help her with several things also. I am thankful that Linda has been of such great support for her.

We'll be going back up, perhaps Monday morning, depending on how this snow storm effects things, and whether she's up to it, but she wants us to help go through personal belongings... a tought thing to face, but it will hold more meaning for all if we do it together with her. She also has asked me to help her figure out thoughts on how to rearrange their living room so that there is more room for people to come & visit since she won't be able to leave the house much longer. Hard stuff to face...

So, I just ask again for prayers for her, and for our family, as we prepare for what lies ahead.
