They come in with a knock on the door and a smile on their face like a fresh breeze or a ray of sunshine. A brother, a sister and her husband, a loyal home health aide, old friends, they come in a slow but steady stream to my mom’s room at Hospice. And she rises for the occasion, responding to their greetings with a smile, laughing at their anecdotes as they make valiant efforts to entertain her.
I am grateful for this opportunity to see how good and kind people can be.

Thanks for stopping by Hilary. I know you’ve been through this all so recently. It’s kind of you to support me.
Hi Christine- It was so good to see your mom today. We had such a great visit and what a blessing for me to know her and all of you. Your mom and dad raised some great kids!!!
I know she was happy to see you too. Thanks for taking the time to visit, Paula.
Blessing to you and your family and may all the angels give comfort to your mom. It is so good she has you there.
Thanks, Renee. I’m looking for angels.
I’m glad your mom has visitors, and she is pleased to see them and able to enjoy their company.
I’m new to your blog and am enjoying it. I’d like to ask you about a couple of photos on your blog. Can you contact me? Thank you. I believe you can see my email address? Thanks
So glad to hear your mom has visitors. You must have been very pleased. She must have been overjoyed to see them all.
So glad your mom has such wonderful folks to care for her and look after her. The visitors –whatever form they take—are a welcome part of her day, I am sure. So glad you can embrace them and accept what they have to offer her.
I’m glad that you’re getting company through all of this, and that she’s responding well to them.
I’ve just read several of your posts. I’ll continue to pray for you and your loved ones as you journey through what must seem like a never-ending abyss. God bless and keep you in his loving care, Christine.
lots of hugs…and hopes…for better days ahead…hugmamma. 🙂
Thinking of you, Christine, and sending kind thoughts to you and your family during this time of transition.
Sending lots of hugs and warmth your way.
