I received some awesome gifts today, priceless gifts, 10 minutes with my mom in which she was awake, alert and responsive. She smiled at ME!, embraced me, patted my back, looked into my eyes, nodding yes appropriately in response to questions. She even watched a video of her great-grand baby Alice.
I left early this am for CT with my Dad after an early Thanksgiving with our family in PA. I didn't have a lot of time for a visit because I wanted to get back on the road to get home. It's about an 8 hour round trip drive. Mom was sleeping in her wheelchair at the table when we arrived. It was obvious she had slept through lunch. We couldn't wake her, even after we took her back to her room. We tried; we put Christmas music on and decorated her little tree. She slept on. She never opened her eyes. Finally I knelt beside her wheelchair and told her I was leaving. I placed her arm around me as I hugged her and started to cry. And then my Dad said she opened one eye and then she started to pat my back. Then she woke up and we had a precious ten minutes before I left. What an awesome experience. And on the way home God gave me this sunset..... Cool
Every good and precious gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of all light... James 1:17
