Gather Together

This morning we meet with the doctor, as a family, to find out the results of our moms biopsy. Results, primary nervous system lymphoma is back. It has spread to her whole brain and has visably spread comparing last weeks MRI to this weeks MRI. 

We have been given our treatment options that as a family we are discussing. This decision we are faced with is not an easy one especially because of our moms impairment. Her lack of understanding leaves it completely in dad's and our hands.

I add these sweet words from a family member that I want to always remember.

I’m fasting today for Barbara’s return home after a valiant fight.  As a mom and grandma, I know she would not want you to continue to suffer alongside her.  She has been the light of your lives and now needs to return to the light where there is no more pain and where she may be whole once again.  Celebrate her with the happy memories she has left for you .  She will always want what is best for you including letting her go so true healing may begin for you as well as for her.  Saying “good-bye” is hard, but it has always been part of the plan.  Rejoice for the beautiful spiritual daughter Barbara is and for her life well-lived in loving service to her family and her Heavenly Father.  May you have the strength and unity to help her return to her eternal place of peace.
