This made me cry, remembering the last few months, days & hours spent with my Mama. She was living with us. I moved a twin bed into her room for the last 6 days she lived, so I could hear her if she should try to speak. The last night she lived, I was up all night, caring for her, taking her vitals, giving her a drop of water at a time to try to ease the dry throat she had. I bathed her & changed her, & my sweet husband helped me. We talked to her, & told her we loved her & were so glad to have her here with us in our home. I told her it was alright to go if she was ready, that I was sure Daddy was waiting for he to join him, as he had been for the past 7 years. I told her how precious she was to our Family, & that we ALL loved her & appreciated her for all she did as our Mother, & that we had come to realize she was the Glue that held our Family together, & we would miss her. I told her not to stay because of that, that we knew how much she was suffering, & that we would be together again some day. She had grown close to our little dog Molly, & Always wanted Molly in the recliner with her. Molly loved her too. I held Moly up to Mamas face & Molly put the side of her face against Mamas lips,(Thats how Molly gave love. We had taught Molly not to ever lick people!) Two hours before Mama passed, I called my Sister Marilyn, who lives here in the same town & told her that I thought it was getting close, so she & her husband got here before Mama left to meet Daddy, & her Mam & Daddy. Im sure all her Brothers & Sisters were waiting to greet her too! She was the last one of her Siblings. She would have been 90 yrs. old in 2 months! Before Mama had the last Stroke that made her go into the Coma, she was talking to me in the Hospital, and said: Make me Pretty I thought she wanted me to comb her hair etc. so, I washed her face & started combing her hair It was like spun white threads of snow! I said you are very Pretty Mama, She said No, I mean when I go home to Heaven, make me Beautiful ! I cried & said I will Mam, I will. So when she passed, I told the undertakers who came to pick her body up, and prepare it, to please call me when they were finished & I would come & put her make up on her & do her nails! I did as I promised her, and mad her look absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! Her favorite color was pink. She had chosen a Dusty Rose suit to be worn when she passed & the made her up in soft shades of Pink & pink nail polish! She look like an Angel. I talked to her the entire time as I put her make up on etc. I still talk to her everyday. Molly our little dog still goes in the bedroom she had, & tries to see on top of the bed, wanting her to be there! She misses her too. I believe she is still here with us in spirit, & watches over her whole Family, just as she did in life! Sometimes I can hear her voice, & sometimes I hear Daddys voice too. Some times it is like they whisper in my ear & guide my decisions, at least I would prefer to think that, rather than think it is my own decisions. They are missed more than I could ever put into words, but I could write a book, about my love for them both, & I just about have!!
