Little by Little

I returned to Denver tonight to be with my mother after several days at home in California. My mother has changed in the last several days. Physically she is much the same. Mentally things have deteriorated. She seems at peace but her thoughts are not coherent. Her biggest concern for the evening was to make sure we were prepared for Christmas dinner. Do we have potatoes? Who is coming? What day is it?

Mom still recognizes those of us around her on a daily basis. She is still beautiful, albeit weak. It is hard to see her go. She will be missed.

Please pray for her that she remains at peace and not in pain. Also pray for those of us caring for her that we might have patience, stamina, and wisdom.

Goodnight.

Steve
