One Year with Mom
She came to us
From a wayward path.
Come stay with us, my husband said.
We want to take care of you, he said.
My heart was not in agreement.
I don’t want to, it screamed! Silently
I’m still hurt and sad.
But God
Knew
Exactly
How to heal
And restore
My heart
And hers.
Lay down your life
And you will be healed
One year with my mom
Doctors doctors doctors
months of untangling the lies of the past, More doctors.
Overnights in the ER
Sleeping in chairs
Caring for her just like she had cared for me, as a baby.
Hospice they said
Treatment she said
From her bed
Weak
And sassy to the end.
Am I forgiven? She asked.
70x7 and to infinity and beyond
His grace is greater
His love is wider, deeper
Heaven is our home and
He has prepared a place
For us.
