Mom is healed and with the Healer

I write this with a heart broken into a million pieces, yet each of those pieces rejoice that my precious momma is no longer suffering. She has won the ultimate battle with cancer. It can't touch her anymore.

Mom passed so peacefully, in her home surrounded by her adoring family. Honestly, surrounded. You always hear that, but I never imagined it. Daddy was next to her, and the rest of us stood around her bed. She held on until her sister arrived from California and when Brenda arrived at 8:22 pm Friday evening, she opened her eyes for the first time that day, looked around at her family and took her last sweet breath.

She sat at the banks of the River Jordan dipping her feet in. And in this life, she was scared of the water, but at 8:22pm she know longer knew fear. She dove in, and crossed the River to the other side and she is free and experiencing love and radiance I can't imagine.

She is still with me. My son, Cody said that she will always be with us, because no one in that room that night would be who they were if not for her and her love.

But she is face to face with her Healer. And that brings me joy!

Please pray for my dad. He adores her and she was his life and he has to begin a new chapter. I have no doubt that God has amazing plans for him and is going to use him greatly. There is still work for him to do and I can't wait to see what that is.

There is more to write here, but my heart is still searching for words.
