My Mom...one of God's Children finally at rest

The last few weeks have been painful to handle, as my Mom slowly deteriorated to a point where she could no longer see nor speak, and only responded to touch. Having to idly sit by and watch as a loved one slowly slips away is something I would not wish on any person.
Early this morning my Mother quietly took her last breath and went home to be with her Lord. While the pain I feel inside at this moment is great, my solace is that she is no longer trapped inside a body that limited her wondrous artistic talent. She is now free to draw and paint all that she surveys in her new place of rest.

May your soul be at peace Mom....I love you and I miss you.

I admire your strength because it tore parts of our family apart, when my mom and her sisters had to watch and care for both her parents in the last stages. It is really tough on a family.
