Looking together at one of the many books of her artwork. She doesn’t remember any of it, but her “wow” expression is priceless when you tell her she created them.<\/p><\/div>\n

Mom is very quiet these days, and we wonder what things go through her still beautiful head.\u00a0 When we walked into the room after not seeing her for a year, her face lit up like a Christmas tree!\u00a0 \u00a0She sure recognizes us, but she can\u2019t tell you her name. \u00a0She can sing along with songs you sing together and she can feed herself, but needs to be led around if she’s up out of a chair. Our sibs Tim and Lynn take such loving and tender care of her in their home, with Tim being the primary caregiver while Lynn\u2019s at work.\u00a0 They have a lovely routine every night after she\u2019s tucked all comfy-like in bed.\u00a0 They pray a prayer asking for God\u2019s spirit to fill them, and then they recite together the 23rd<\/sup> psalm, the Lord\u2019s prayer, and then sing \u201cthe Lord bless you and keep you\u2026\u201d to each other. Those were the last words we heard from Dad as he passed. \u00a0We\u2019ve been joining them while we\u2019ve been here, and Mom sings and recites right along with us.\u00a0 She is such a sweet, peaceful presence in their home, smiling wide at attention and hugs, responding with \u201cokay\u201d sometimes when we say we love her, which cracks us up.\u00a0 It IS okay, Mom.\u00a0 We can see that it is well with your soul!\u00a0 God has blessed us, richly!<\/p>\n
