My heart is very heavy today. Thoughts of my family in Oklahoma. Especially my cousins who will be, if not already taking their mother and my aunt off her respirator/life support. Selfishly maybe, but my thoughts also are on remembering a time over 20 years ago when my siblings and I went through the same thing with our mother. Not only do I grieve for my aunt, but for our family as a whole. Knowing the pain and heartache they will be enduring. Death is no stranger to me. I have buried a son, my mother, father, husband, grand parents, friends. The older I get the more funerals. And I know a grave awaits me. Life and death walk hand in hand. As a Christian, my hope is in the Lord and a future home prepared for me. And as Christians we can all say with hope, Oh death, where is your victory? Where is your sting? Singing the old hymnal, Ive got a mansion just over the hilltop......And I believe I do. Even so, we grieve. Our hearts break, and we ask why? Sometimes we get answers sometimes we dont. I am finding comfort in the fact that Aunt Thelma is with my mom and the rest of the family that has passed on, and they are having a wonderful time. And one day I will join them. I am asking for prayers for my family. Especially for Carmen, Billy, Kelly, and Chad. Aunt Thelma was a beautiful woman inside and out. A heart of gold. This world is much emptier today without her. We love you Aunt Thelma, we will miss you dearly, and will see you again.
