My brother met with the doctors this morning at the hospital. There's really nothing that can be done to help my mother live longer, only to make her comfortable. Even the plans of their coming here to live are no longer because he says she won't live through the journey here. That, along with the emotional adjustments would only shorten her time.

Nothing comes to an end without hard decisions. I can see no other way - NO other way - outside of bringing her home. Yet, I'm only one voice. My father is frail and making decisions come harder with every passing moment. He depends on the voices around him. My parents gave us an awesome childhood. We never wanted for a thing, including love and security. Above all else, they gave us a true firm beginning in understanding we have a Savior in Whose steps we are to follow. I pray - I pray with all I have, that the decisions about to be made will be with the love and compassion of the One Who gave His all. We've suffered nothing; Mama deserves more than a return to the nursing home.

I know that I have many who read this blog and from emails and comments that you all pray. Please pray that God's desire for His servant, my mother, will be done.
