(((((((( Paula and Karla, and their dear Mama)))))))))))))),
I am truly touched by your post , I have to admit I am shedding tears for you and your families right now. It is truly sad to lose your mother, but the way you are holding up and looking at this shows the strong women you two are. She is proud I am sure. I think it is a beautiful thing to be there with her ,talking to her and helping her to leave this world in peace. I am sure she can hear you. I hope you talk of the past and the funny times you had, I hear these are the things that bring rest and peace to someone who is ready to pass on. It gives them happiness to know that their lives here were meaningful and that their children will always rememeber how much love is in the family.
I will sure pray for all of you to be strong and for your mother to pass peacefully , if that is what is to happen. I think you have a blessing to be there to hold her hand , I can only cry wishing I could have at least said goodbye to my mom and hold her hand. It is a privledge to be able to do that.
You are so right , she will be able to hear and feel your love. Tell her that strangers that don't even know her are praying for her, and tell her that she has two very special daughters, who have helped alot of people with their kindness. My heart is breaking for you right now, and I wish I was there to give you two many hugs, just know that so many of us care . I havent cried like this in quiet awhile, but I am just so proud of your strength right now, and what you have said.
Wishing you peace and comfort right now.................. love you both,,,,,,,,, Dede
