Please continue to post your memories or any comments you wish to share. God takes care of our needs and Mama wld hv wanted these extra days for friends and family to reflect the joy and beauty of life. "Be at home with who you are...Being at home is not a physical location. You take "this" wherever you go! Its being "In love with life,in love with joy ,in love with God, in love with family and friends" Knowing that "God is Love" "God is Home" My Mother wrote this on Oct 10 2012 . It was titled "Note to self..im going to change a lot of things my new life and second chance God has gave me .Im going to take life slow and easy and enjoy each day to the fullest!! When the sun comes up and Im still around ,then its a good day. Mom had heart AFIB condition..she battled many years with this condition. Aug 17 of last year she had a pacemaker to help her heart be strong enough for the spirtual journey she had visioned on Oct 10 2012 when she wrote this. In dec she reunited with her sister Rhonda Rabon on the very last day of the year ! Mom journey then took her to Crosby, Texas in January to be with her sister who was to undergo a surgery for a serious and painful medical condition. MOM was happy and so delighted to be able to get on a plane and jst GO take care of her baby sister ! On January 26..Mom was in very same hospital as her sister where she wld b transported and diagnosed with stage 3b to 4 throat cancer. My two sisters Heather Street and Brandy Street and my brother n law Joie Street were to travel to Houston Texas and from the time Mom came out of surgery with trach ,port ,and peg feeding tube is when i received the gift that changed my life:) I visioned that I wld b her voice thru how i received her wishes thru notes , scripture , and the challenge of a lifetime that now I realize was a blessing. I love to write now..it jst comes easy.I came back two Bama for three weeks after Mom was released and returned to Texas where Mom and I wld end up living at hospital due to first round of chemo put her in renal failure ..she completed ten weeks of radiation five days a week and chemo was discontinued after kidneys functions not able to stablize she was released pending pet scan that leaves our family with questions if she actually beat cancer. I would like to say she did ...she was transported home end of june and very next day til her death she was at providence hospital w chronic respitory failure and radiation had destroyed muscles n her neck and throat. BUT SHE WAS HAPPY AND NEVER COMPLAINED about anything. I will miss her dearly and the box of darkness i feel at times will take time to heal but life is too short to think about what went wrong .. when im weak im really strong ! I look forward to my new life and I know Im up for the challenge and equipped to share what will forever be a blessing to the ppl who are receptive to feel, listen ,and receive what I have longed for..Praise God for giving me this chance to relax and do what needed to be done by allowing a cpl days delay in our plan to lay Mama to rest. This was a test cs i was truly not prepared tom. As Mom wld say jst chill..God brought you to it..he Will bring you thru it. BTW i think Moms cell expires tonight so feel free to contact or comment on any post if anyone has any personal comments that otherwise we may not receive after today. Sherry Chesbrough
