We loved it, and made a deal that when we found one it would soon go on one of our vehicles.
Today, along with my brother and sister, I signed a paper that basically stated that we did not want a feeding tube for Mother who is now down to 97 lbs. Deep in my heart I know it is the right thing to do, but it still hurts to write it down in black and white. Mother had signed a paper years ago stating that she did not want artificial feeding so that eased the pain a little knowing that we are following her wishes. I know I would not want a feeding tube if I was in her current condition, but it still hurts to see her like this.
Without a doubt, we have led a blessed life in that we have two wonderful adult chlidren that are happy and engaged in life, we have traveled to places I could only read about as a child, met some amazing people that we treasure deeply, and most of all we have our trust and faith that God will not abandon us. Our grandson, Wyatt, has our heart in the palm of his little hand and we just love him to pieces.
This has not been an easy week for our family due to several different medical issues, but we believe that God is in control and no matter the outcome of any medical issues we will praise His name!

Do me a favor - if your Mom/Dad is alive give them a call soon and tell them that you love them. So, we are not promised that life will always be a bed of roses or stress free but with God by our sides life is always a garden of blessings!

I am so sorry to hear about our mother. We will pray for you during this difficult period. When my mom was battling breast cancer, we too had difficult choices to make towards the end of her life. Like you, as difficult as those choices were we had peace knowing they were her wishes.
Blessings to your entire family,
Karyn, Norm & Ilya
Oh Dinia, that is really hard! I'll be praying for you.
