We went to the hospital quickly this morning after getting a call that the nurse said it would be soon. The family was gathered around her bed and prayed. I sat in the hall with Caleb instead of in the waiting room so I'd be nearby for my husband. We talked and read books. I enjoy my conversations with that boy so much. :) Well they came out about 11:30 and said they were going to get something to eat. I was very thankful because Caleb had started saying he was hungry and I was feeling hunger pangs myself. We ate a quick lunch in the cafeteria and went back upstairs. The nurses have said they are surprised at how strong Mammaw is and she keeps holding on. She was looking around today and smiling, my husband thought she must be seeing the other side already. The family has all told her their love and that we'll be okay and it's okay for her to go. We've always known how strong she was!
I've enjoyed hearing my husband share stories of his Mammaw. She has been so special to his life, and I told her I was thankful for her and for her being so special to him.
Thank you again for your prayers. I have felt God with us and holding us really to get through. The days are running together. We came home earlier tonight and relaxed (I had a nice hot bath) and Caleb got to play at home a while. We're just going to take this one day at a time.

I love you my friend.
How blessed she is so serene in her journey.
You're doing a wonderful job raising Caleb, what a sweet time together, even in the midst of sorrow.
I continue to pray.
I just want you to know that your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
Love in Christ,

Thank you for sharing. You are in my prayers.
I know this is so hard for you. I went through this with my Mom just before she went to be with the Lord.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Hugs.
Bethany,
Just dropping by to check in on you and your hubby and Mam-Maw. I'm saying a prayer for you.
Blessings to you and a great big hug, my friend.
