God Is Good. Start with the truth to get to and remain in the truth.
It’s been difficult to see Mom fading away, yet bearing witness is a gift in many ways. Death is a part of this life. A doorway, a transition, leaving behind this time and space continuum. Mom is moving forward.

For Mom, it’s been a journey of years… her preparing for it: her funeral plans, her gleaning through her possessions, it was all purposeful. And I believe that in my heart of hearts.

I don’t want or need to wax poetically; Mom doesn’t need or want that either. I seek from my God to stay in position and do what is required of me — what must be done. I am simply called to bear witness and keep my eyes trained upon my Higher Power. No panic. No fear. No sounding of alarms, or wringing of hands, or clenching of fists or rending of garments; no wailing and gnashing of teeth. No endless “whys.”

Mom has been my Buddha. She has taught me to do what God requires of me and keep it moving. Thank you, Mom. As you continue your journey, you continue to give love and teach.
