(((Jadmack))) Yes, I can see her in my mind's eye also since you were so sweet to post her pictures for us. I was very close to my mom who was also a VERY special person and I miss her every single day.
I'm glad you'll have these days with her... I didn't really get the chance to say goodbye to mine.
You are in my prayers.

Thank you so much to you all, for your prayers and thoughts and support, Lord how I need it.
It is 3.30am here and I am awake again, like at 1am and 2am, so decided to go online to my prayer sites and give thanks for the blessings we have received so far.
Doctors cannot understand why mum is in NOpain at all, even tho having to be tube fed as cannot eat as normal and suffering with loose bowel actions. They expect in this stage, that she would be in constant, severe pain needing drugs.
Perhaps prayer for this blessing could be the answer????
Spoke to her last night, and her voice is strong again....not the frail, small and quavery one I have heard these past couple of weeks..that freaked me out.
My poor daughter says she has had neighbors and friends at mum's door every night, usually in shock and tears and will be so glad for me to be there, as she can't take much more of it. All these folks, are begging to help us pack up the house contents, clean up and get mum's garden looking good so we get it on the market. I guess it is the "payoff" for mum being a friend to all, and there when needed over all the years.
My dear 2nd daughter broke the news to her children last night, and her comment was...."for God's sake mum, please live forever because I cannot do this again."
The 7 year old understands and was very quiet as she drew her special picture for Nana, but my 13 year old grandson has such a painful look in his eyes, it hurts his mum to see it.
I am off to Mass this morning, with my dear friend who lost her son to suicide and is going thru terminal pancreatic cancer in her 38 year old daughter....so we hold each other up now as is needed.
Not looking forward to the long 9 hour plane and bus trip, or what awaits but I do thank God for being able to be with mum, and sharing her journey.
Last night she was quite upbeat, ( more than I was) and told me, "I have lots of people to see, and have kept them waiting a long time already".
Bless you all, and you will be in my thoughts and prayers til my return home.

Oh Jadmack, my heart breaks for you.
Your mother touched my life, with just the bit I know. She is such a strong and beautiful woman, and you are so blessed to be her daughter. I am remembering her and you in my prayers. I can see her picture in my mind, I always thought how wonderful it must be to have her for a mother.
love and prayers for peace and comfort and time,
chicory

Jadmack, I'm so sorry to hear about your mum. I keep seeing her beautiful face in those photos you posted of her 99th birthday. This must come as a shock to you and your family. Praise the Lord she is not in pain. I lost my step mother to this dreaded disease on the 7th January. Right at the end she had some pain and was medicated for it, but not a lot. I know it was all the prayers for her (she was a devout Catholic and she and everyone prayed to God and St Mary McKillop). I believe you're right JM that prayer is the reason for this blessing of no pain for your mum.
I will pray for you, your mum and family and also your dear friend who is going through so much. All my love to you JM...xo
