Lifes little slices - by charliesgirl_992000

I'm home, and about my mom!"

July 24th 2007 18:09
my mom
My mom.You can see it in her eyes, that life is slipping away. I see it more now in these pictures, then i did, even when i was standing before her. These pictures are hard to look at.
my mom
She's still with us. I'm not sure for how long. She is not being treated for anything but getting her insulin. Her leg needs removed from gang green, but that is staying, she still has blood poisening and thats staying. They did remover some, leaving a HUGE open wound in her stomach thats just wrapped up. She's eating and drinking, but barely. It's not enough to survive on. She has a list of other problems, she's nopt being treated for. All by her own choice. She's ready to go. She's just waiting. I hope God lets her go soon, so she doesn't have to lay there and suffer, hunger, and such anymore. One side of my wants that, and the other wants her to just get better, get up and walk again. She hasn't walked since November.

I'm home! I Got Home Sunday after driving an all nighter. well, sorta. Krystina and i took turns driving. At four in the morning i finally pulled into a rest area and took a two hour nap.
It sounds like my mom still just wants cremated, and no funeral. I feel robbed, because i had thought all along that we would have a funeral. I found out when i got home, so now i feel like i didn't get a goodbye still. I stayed three days, going to see her once a day. I wanted to see her longer but she's sleepy and withall the family that are going to see her, we each only get about five minutes with her. Hospice is taking time too. In three days i only realy got about 15 minutes with her. Next time i see her she will be dust, ashes or whatever you call it.

It feels like a big deal to me, but i know no matter how many days or hours i would have spent, it would never feel like an appropiate goodbye. I have always felt like i had a good out look on death, but now i don't think i do. But i also think maybe it's just because, even though i personally don't believe theres a hell, now that my mom is dying, i'm scared there is. I do in the back of my mind think there may realy be a hell, but i push that thought out and believe there isn't so i no longer lay in bed sleepless at night afraid of dying and going to hell. I don't think i would fear taht if my one cousin died at 30 in his sleep of a heart attack with no warning, and the other cousin died at 33 of a heart attack, no warning, in the shower. Thats past written stuff though so no details needed there.
Life is not life for my mom and i know she needs, and wants to die, and thats ok. I still can be sad, i can still worry, i can still hate the thought that i'll not see her again until once or twice she comes in my dream, and when i die, unless one of us goes to heaven and one to hell if there is a hell. They should have community service in heaven, so she can still go. i thought of begging for a swicth, me instead of her, but then the thought of burning forever for something i didn't even do, no, i can't do taht. Now if it was for one of my kids, then i'd do it in a second. But not for my mom. I love and adore her, but the choices she made, she should have never made.
I had a great time at my brothers. Thats where Kaitlyn and i stayed. She hit it off right away with my niece Kaitlyn. Yep, they have the same name. She's 13 and it's the first time i met her. My brother just got back together with her mom. This child isn't his, but the son is. We don't look at it like that. She is my neice and his daughter. Her and Kaity hit it off so well, that she came home with us for a few weeks. We leave sunday to the ocean, and a harbor timeshare through Wyndham Worldwide. She's comming along. She's never been to the ocean. I've had my fill of the ocean, so i'm not looking as forward to that part, but the rest, pools indoor and out, the timeshare it's self, billards, tennis, games and all the such. I can't wait.
My friend Denises daughter is still comming to.It's an all girls trip. After Illinois, Chris decided to stay home, especialy since we have a three week trip comming in september.
We have been busy since Sunday. Went straight home and got a making up horse lesson for the girls. 5 hours all crammed into one day, to make up for the time we where away. The trainer is her now again, working on a new pasture we're putting in for Blazing Fire who comes home this week, all broke after a month away with our trainer. Next Apache will probably go. Our trainer has been comming her usualy a few times a week orking with both horses and the girls. He's going to give my niece Kaity 3 free riding lessons while she is here. She has dreamed of horses for her whole life. She'll be 14 in oct. She rode Apach a little Sunday and was smiling from ear to ear. She's never realy ridden.
well, thats it for thise post. we went to a theme park yesterday. I have lots of pics to share and stuff to write. soon i will do taht.

This is a sad post about your mum but a very rewarding one about your family.

I wish Medicine could have done more for your mum and earlier, life can be sad, and God is all forgiving. He has to be.

Have faith and pray for your mum that her last days may be peaceful ones.

You can have your own private little service, it need not be a public one.

My heart reaches out and travels to you and your loved ones. Words are not sufficient but I am sorry.

katyzzz
