Mom had a blockage in her neck. She went in the hospital today to have an operation done to remove it. Mom had a stroke while under going this. The doctors are not sure how bad, as she has not woke up yet, she is on a ventilator at this time.
Mom was in a good mood before surgery, she was laughing and the last thing she said to us was “I love you and will see you in a little while”. Dad sent us home to feed her pets and post this, as I knew you would all like to know. I have to go back to the hospital now so I can see her, cause I know she is going to wake up and say, “I told you I would see you in a little while I was just tired.” Moms’ just tired and she will wake up! I know she will. God can’t take her now. I need her to bad. Oh God why is this happening. Please pray for my mom.
I was thinking how wonderful she is. My mom adopted my sisters and me. I will never know why she did that. We sure have given her a hard time. She would get mad, I know she wanted to choke us, but she didn’t. She would forgive, as all good moms’ do. Mom has a love for people and animals. I do not guess she has ever met a stranger. I remember one time I was at moms’ job and this man came in, he only had a half a face. He was in rags and carried a suitcase. Mom looked at him and said, “ Good morning can I help you? He smiled and said he was cold and wondered if she might have an old blanket or coat he might have. Mom smiles and said “ I sure do and she gave him her coat and a blanket from the back. She also gave him her lunch. I saw her slip $10 in the sack. When he left I said mom that was your good coat and your lunch. She just smiled and said, “ I have three more coats at home he has none.” “ I have heat he has none.” I have food at home he has none.” It was the right thing to do. That is my mom always doing the right thing. Even if she did without. Mom taught me a lot about giving.
God if you can hear me this day. I know you are in need of angels and she will make one of the best. This world and I need her so much more. Please God let her stay here with us. I need her, my sisters, and brother needs her. Mom trusts you Lord, and I will now put her in your hands. What ever your will should be, I may not understand it, but I will except it. Mom would not want me to cry so could you help me a little. I hurt like never before. In Gods Name Amen.
I know prayer should not be done on this board please forgive me if I offended anyone. I need to scream but can’t! This board is full of my moms’ goodness so I came here. I am going to scream. I want my mom. I love my mom.
