Today was no typical day. The day started with a phone call that my Mom was headed to the hospital. She is weary and said she is "done" - Her heart, her kidneys, and her breathing are all in very poor condition. Why I am here in Hawaii instead of with her? I am here because she insisted that we continue with this planned trip. We went to Pearl Harbor today. I kept the morning phone call from most of the group so they could enjoy this longed for visit to such an important place. Once we were all back from that trip I told all of them and then just a few hours later we got the call that my beloved Mother has passed to eternity. No photos of Pearl Harbor today. Just my Mother... I love you Mom.
I kissed her good-bye not long ago and told her we would be back to see her directly after the Hawaii trip. We won't be seeing her that soon after all I guess. I don't know when I will see my Mom again... but one day I will. I miss her already. It doesn't seem real to me. Thinking about my beloved Mom reunited with my other family members who have gone on before me. Death is part of life and we should be ready at any time, pressing forward for the goal that awaits us with Jesus.
