In My Arms

Is where I wish you were today. Hearing you giggle. Watching you try to walk. Being close by.

My little angel I miss you today more than ever before.

Your grandmother is coming home to you soon. She is the best at rocking you to sleep. You won't miss her. Her smile is so big and her words are so gentle. Enjoy her for me.



The song is my heart's cry. I found the video on youtube.

They are giving my mom 2 to 4 weeks to live. They are heading to the cancer hospital today. They will see the doctors tomorrow and have more tests run. The information could change but the cancer is really bad. I go to the doctor this morning for monitoring. We need to talk about this cycle. There is a possibility we will either retrieve and freeze or cancel. If we cancel I will leave tomorrow to be with my family. If nothing else I will be there next week until the end. I am taking leave from work. I don't want to watch my mom die but I can't stay home. We are still praying for a miracle.

All that my mind can think of is, how do I live in a world without my mom. She is so amazing. In fact there is a package at the post office from her for us for Easter. Her love never stops.

Thank you so much for the many comments and emails. I feel surrounded by love.

I am so so sorry you have to go through this. I lost my father two years ago and it was the hardest thing I ever had to do but now I feel like that time I spent with him at his bedside on the last day of his life was the most precious memory ever. God bless you and I am praying for your family.

Oh Sunny....I wish there was something I could say or do. My FIL passed away from cancer 3 years ago and DH says being there was the hardest thing in the world, but he wouldn't trade a second of that time.

You're all in my prayers

praying, weeping, praying some more.
losing my dad was harder than dealing with my own cancer.
i won't say i know how you feel, 'cause it's different with your mom, but i do see what you're losing and i'm sorry.

I'm so sorry that you are facing all these things, it must be overwhelming. I'm hoping you peacefully resolve this cycle and have that precious time with your mom. Thinking of you.

Pepper said...

Losing my mother was the hardest thing I've ever been through. It's a heartbreaking punch in the gut that leaves you breathless, battered, and dazed. But the time I spent with her brings me so much comfort even though it was so very hard.

Wishing you peace, grace, and courage.

Leah said...

I so desperately wish there was something I could say. Something to take away the hurt you are feeling, and the hurt you will feel forever. Something to take away the hurt your family will endure. Something to take away what is happening to your Mom.

But there aren't any words. Nothing magical that I could utter to make it all better. I'm so terribly sorry and my heart is just breaking into a million pieces for you.

I will continue to pray for your strength, for your family, and for your Mom.

Much love, L
