Right Now...

Right now...I'm sitting at my parent's house listening to my dad talk with people in the kitchen. One of them just brought a hospital bed and set it up in the living room in the spot where my mom's recliner was. The other one is a nurse putting together a schedule for hospice care.

Right now...I'm thinking about how there are too many things in this house that I hate. Hospital bed, wheelchair, walker, bathtub seat, adult diapers, pain pills, potty chair, to name a few.

Right now...I'm trying not to be a crybaby and hold it together so my mom won't freak out when she wakes up.

Right now...I'm thinking of how short this life really is and how thankful I am for Jesus. Death has no victory...she's not dying...she's just leaving this earth to go be with Jesus. I believe that more than I've ever believed anything in my life. Right now.

Oh K, I have no words...except to say that my heart hurts for you and your family right now. I'm here for you if you need anything (D.Q., a shoulder to cry on, Starbucks, comic relief, etc.).

I love you friend and am praying for all of you.

Right now I am sitting here, blankly staring at the screen in front of me...tears falling down my face. All I can think about is how much I love you, your sweet Mama, and Jesus. It's more than a heart can take.

KAR- IM SORRY...THAT SOUNDS STUPID TO SAY...BUT ALL MY MEMORIES OF FUN, LOVE AND OF GRATITUDE ARE RUSHING AROUND IN MY BRAIN...THERE ARE VERY FEW PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD AS SPECIAL AS YOUR MOM....I LOVE HER...AND I LOVE YOU...OUR DISTANCE MAY BE GREAT BUT MY HEART IS WITH YOU.. ONE LAST THING ...I THOUGHT OF THIS AND IT SEEMS RIGHT...

"So if I stand let me stand on the promise
That you will pull me through
And if I can't, let me fall on the grace
That first brought me to You
And if I sing let me sing for the joy
That has born in me these songs
And if I weep let it be as a man
Who is longing for his home"
-RICH MULLINS

JESSE
