Mom

Mom and I a couple of years ago.

Mom called today to let me know that there is nothing more that the oncologist can do for her leukemia other than the occasional blood transfusion to keep her going.
The body can only take so many blood transfusions before they stop working to sustain life and she has had them in the teens.
What do you say when your Mom calls to tell you she's dying...again?
You tell her that you love her and you keep doing what you're doing and visit more often.
Hug someone you love today...or call them...do it for the both of you.
Love to you all...hugs from me.

Lots of Hugs to both of you. There are no words. I am thankful I was able to hug my parents as much as I did.

What a lovely picture - you can see the love. We'll be here to support you the best we can - enjoy the fun times when possible - other than that - I am at a loss for words.

There are no words for this...there is only love that will surround you both and keep you close. Definitely see her often, don't let anything go unsaid and above all else, if you can, make her laugh!
Hugging you tight!
XOXOXO

WAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

What do you say? I don't know. You just love, I suppose.

My daddy's been dyin' for years. Since I was a child really. My sister says he has a Monster in his brain (Alzheimer's) and he certainly does (the villian doesn't pay rent either!). Through all the years of his decline I just hold his hand, tell him I there, that I love him...and always will.

Found you on Ele's Site and saw your tag...OMG...you are one talented lady.

Blessings to you. You AND your Momma are in my thoughts...
